Messias White Sweet Port

A port is a fortified wine that is made in the port-making region of Portugal. This area, known as the Douro region - is particularly famous for the processes winemakers observe when creating Port. Port, like sherry, takes the wine base, in this case white wine, and adds a grape spirit to it to ‘fortify’ the wine itself adding extra flavor, sweetness, and bit more of a kick.

This particular Port is sweet and smooth. It presents a beautifully mesmerizing golden color. On the nose, notes of citrus and dried fruits are observed. The palate is long and fresh, with an intense sweetness mixed with golden dried grapes and plums. Notes of cinnamon and cloves can also be observed.

Port is perfect as a digestif. Ancient practices believed port aids in digestion, especially after a heavy meal. It can be enjoyed on its own or paired with bitter chocolate.
