Barão de Vilar White Colheita Port 1989 Cask #2
S$180.00A unique Single Cask White Colheita Port chosen during summer 2017 with master blender Alvaro Van Zeller at Barão de Vilar in Vila Nova de Gaia. Our team chose this cask for its outstanding fresh acidity, perfect balance and finish. White Colheita Ports are very unique and are only released in small quantity.
The Barão de Vilar White Colheita 1989 has a very unique profile. The color is much darker than the Golden White range from Dalva. Notes of plums, light spices, marmalade, dried fruit and liquorice. The texture is very silky and rich. The acidity is there to balance the sugar but in a very different style as what you have with the red Colheita Ports from Barão de Vilar which are slightly more lifted. A very smooth elegant White Port.
