The Fine White Port is the entry-level example to the white style of Port that the Vieira de Sousa estate does better than anyone else.  It has spent the least time in barrel, though still focusing on the oxidative element of the wonderful white grapes used, but perfect for a delicious cocktail, or still wonderful simply paired with food and desserts. The grapes are a very traditional blend of Malvasia Fina, Rabigato, Voisinho, and Gouveio, where the hand-harvested fruit was brought into the cellar for a foot-treading press in old granite lagares.  It ferments in lagares with extended time on the skins, until it reaches the desired Baumé, (in this case 3.4).  It was then fortified with Brandy to keep the sugar level and fruit flavor vivid and rich, aged in old wooden vats (a bit in stainless steel as well) to expose oxygen to the wine, developing rich nutty characteristics, elegance, and delicious flavors.
