Traditional white Port varieties, mainly Viosinho, Gouveia, Rabigato and Malvasia Fina. The La Rosa style is to make well defined wines without too much extraction and tannin. A first-class aperitif wine, a beautiful amber/honey colour, it shows excellent fruit on the palate, but at the same time has a long relatively dry finish.
This Port should be served slightly chilled and is also a good compliment to rich pâtés and foie gras. Wonderful served chilled as an aperitif or with a mixer. White Port & tonic is a particular favourite on the terrace at La Rosa in the summer, accompanied by roasted almonds. Make it like a gin & tonic together with ice and a slice of lemon.
