Taylor Fladgate - Chip Dry White Porto (750ml)

Taylor Fladgate Chip Dry is traditionally served chilled as an aperitif. It can also be drunk – poured over ice in a glass, topped up with tonic and a leaf of fresh mint. Accompanied by salted almonds or olives, it is the perfect aperitif.

Taylor Fladgate pioneered dry white aperitif port in 1934 and Chip Dry has built a devoted following throughout the world. Made from selected dry white ports produced from grapes grown in the Douro Superior (the eastern area of the Douro Valley). Although several white grape varieties are used, the Malvasia Fina grape predominates. Chip Dry is produced using the traditional port wine vinification method, brandy being added to the must to halt fermentation and to preserve some of the grape’s natural sugar in the finished wine. In the case of Chip Dry, the brandy is added later, when much of the sugar has been converted into alcohol, producing a port of unusual dryness. The individual wines are matured separately in oak vats for between four and five years and are then blended together shortly before bottling to give balance and character.

This is a great aperitif Port, served with ice and with tonic. It is in a dry style, crisp and with a touch of tangy minerality as well as light acidity, boosted by the bite of spirit. Drink it now. Roger Voss, 2/1/2019.

Plump and modestly juicy in feel, with a mix of peach, butter and bitter almond notes. A light beeswax hint emerges on the finish. Served chilled and maybe with a splash of tonic. Drink now. 6,000 cases made, 500 cases imported. James Molesworth, Web Only - 2019.
