"Pale, straw colour. A superb balance of ripe fruit, delicate acidity and elegant notes of wood ageing. Full and fruity on the palate this wine has a glorious lingering finish and an attractive, refreshing crispness."
Fonseca Siroco is a dry white port first introduced in the 1950s and named after the warm wind which blows over the Mediterranean from North Africa. It is a blend of classic white Port grape varieties, predominantly Malvasia Fina with smaller proportions of Gouveio, Viosinho, Rabigato and Arinto, grown on the cooler, higher vineyards of the Douro Valley.
In most countries, Port is traditionally enjoyed at the end of the meal. The exception is white Port. Siroco makes an excellent aperitif. It can also be drunk poured over ice in a glass, topped up with tonic and a leaf of fresh mint. Drink with salted almonds or olives.
