Port of Leith Distillery are hardened whisky specialists, but have found that the fortified wines they use to help perfectly age their spirits should be savoured and enjoyed on their own too. A good way to pass time while waiting for their whisky! Their White Port is sourced from Martha’s Family Estate who have been producing exquisite port since the mid 18th century.
Made with a field blend of Malvasia Fina, Viosinho, Gouveio and Donzelinho grapes, it is matured for an average of 3 years in 10,000 litre old oak barrels. It shows deliciously bright apricot, stone fruit, apple, almond and vanilla flavours alongside vibrant blossom, orange and citrus honied aromas. Perfect chilled and drunk on its own, but also makes a fantastic summer drink when mixed 50/50 with tonic or soda.
Martha's Family Estate are based in the Douro Valley, Portugal and have grown grapes and produced wine since 1727. For much of that time, their wines were sold to merchants in Porto to be bottled under other people’s brands, with only a tiny percentage bottled for the family’s private use. The Port of Leith team couldn’t quite believe their taste-buds when they discovered them and we hope you will feel the same way.
