NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Maynard's 10 Years Old White Porto is a delightful fortified wine with a rich and complex character.On the nose, this Porto reveals enticing aromas of dried fruits, such as apricots and figs, along with hints of honey and toasted almonds. The palate is equally impressive, offering a luscious and velvety texture with flavors of caramel, orange peel, and a touch of vanilla. The sweetness is well-balanced by a refreshing acidity, creating a harmonious and lingering finish. This White Porto is a perfect choice for those seeking a sophisticated and indulgent dessert wine. Enjoy it slightly chilled on its own or pair it with creamy desserts, blue cheeses, or even foie gras for a truly memorable experience.

ORIGINS
Winery: Maynard's
Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
