30 Year Old White Port
50cl in gift tube

Description and Reviews:
The Messias 30 Year Old White Port is a fairly rare style of port that has been aged for a minimum of thirty years in oak barrels, allowing it to develop a complex array of flavors and aromas. While white ports are less common than their red counterparts, they offer a captivating alternative with their distinctive flavour profile and versatility. A light amber colour. The nose has some complexity, with notes of apricot and hazelnut standing out. The palate is very fresh and pleasantly sweet. This is a wine with a long, velvety finish.


Serving & Food Pairing:
White Ports are ready to drink and do not require decanting. Best enjoyed chilled at 12-13ºC on its own as an aperitif, or paired with rich starters such as mushroom risotto. With a freshness beyond age, White Port is also ideal with crème brulee or a spicy apple crumble.
