This White Port has a beautiful golden colour, fresh and intense nose with nuts and delicate mint. On the palate this wine is vibrant, fresh and complex with a long aftertaste. Jorge Serôdio Borges is the 5th generation of a long line of wine producers and winery owners. Therefore, in 2009 Sandra and Jorge acquired “Quinta da Manoella”, an estate with a history that dates back to 1838.

Critics & Awards
92/100 - The Wine Advocate Luis Gutiérrez (April 2024)
The mostly dry (for a Port) NV 10 Years Old Extra Dry White Port Manoella was bottled with only 30 grams per liter of residual sugar. This has a nuttier nose, with a more oxidative side, perhaps saltier and tastier, with more umami, subtle notes of candied orange and has the elegance of white Ports. Clean, precise and long.
