Quevedo Dry White Porto 0.75L
RIPE PEAR, GOLDEN APPLE AND HONEY. FRESH, FLORAL AND DRY ENOUGH TO KEEP ITS COMPOSURE.
White Port does not always need to behave like dessert.
Quevedo Dry White Porto is made from traditional white Douro grapes and fermented for longer to leave considerably less residual sugar than the producer’s standard White Port. The result is fresher, sharper and particularly well suited to aperitif drinking.
Ripe pear, golden apple, peach and honey lead the nose. The palate opens with a bright, firm edge before developing flavours of apple, poached pear and honey. Its lower sweetness creates tension and definition, while the aromatic fruit prevents the wine from becoming austere.
The grapes are completely destemmed and crushed before a slow fermentation without skin contact. Native yeasts carry out the fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats at up to 22°C. The Port then spends three years in stainless steel and receives a gentle filtration before bottling.
Fresh enough for the beginning of the evening.
Complex enough to survive well beyond it.
Tasting notes
Golden in colour.
The nose is fresh and expressive, combining ripe pear, golden apple, peach and honey.
Lower residual sugar gives the palate a crisp, direct opening. Apple, honey and poached pear then develop across the middle, supported by bright acidity and a precise, persistent finish.

Cocktail serve
Dry White Port & Tonic
A classic Portuguese aperitif requiring very little effort and even less explanation.
Ingredients
50ml Quevedo Dry White Porto

Lemon or orange peel
Ice
Method
Fill a large wine glass with ice and add the Dry White Port.
Top with tonic water and stir gently. Express the citrus peel over the drink and add it as the garnish.

Food pairing
Salty appetisers are particularly effective because they contrast with the Port’s fruit and remaining sweetness.

Salted almonds
Marinated olives
Smoked salmon
Prawns and shellfish
