white port
Douro dessert wine
White port is a Portuguese fortified wine made from white grapes, lighter and often sweeter than the more familiar red (ruby or tawny) ports.
It ranges from dry to sweet and is typically served chilled as an aperitif.
Mixed with tonic water over ice, it makes a popular summer drink in Portugal: We ordered white port and tonics on the terrace.
