Manoella 10 Year Branco Port

Manoella 10 Year Branco Port is a blend of White Ports from a field blend of Viosinho, Rabigato, Códega do Larinho and Gouveio, sourced from high altitude old vineyards. All of the wines crafted by Sandra and Jorge Serôdio Borges are known for being very distinctive, elegant, and pure.

Wine Production

Hand-picked grapes are foot-trodden and fermented with spontaneous yeast in granite lagares. Following fermentation, the wine is matured and aged in seasoned old 630L casks for 10 years at the Quinta da Manoella Lodge.

Tasting Notes

Attractive aromas of almonds, orange and white fig. On the palate it is rich, round and very fresh with  notes of dried fruits.

Food Pairing

Fantastic alongside desserts with orange, apricot or fruit-based pies.
