The white port is best drunk cool at about 6-10 ° C and, especially when aged in stainless steel shows fruity notes e.g. of apple, pear, plum or quince.

White Port is available in various sweet grades from Extra Dry, Dry to Demi-Sec and Sweet to Extra Sweet. There is also a Reserve White Port, which has a golden color acquired by aging for at least seven years. White Port, mixed with soda, is ideal as an aperitif and also accompanies light fruit desserts.
