Cockburn’s Porto Branco 75cl

Cockburn’s Porto Branco 75cl is a delightful white port that brings a refreshing twist to your glass. Crafted from the finest white grape varieties grown in the Douro Valley of Portugal, this port showcases the brand’s renowned expertise in creating versatile, vibrant ports. Whether enjoyed on its own, over ice, or as part of a cocktail, Cockburn’s Porto Branco offers a unique drinking experience that highlights both tradition and innovation in port-making.

White port is an often-overlooked member of the port family, and Cockburn’s has set out to change that. Porto Branco is aged in oak casks for a period that allows its natural fruitiness to blend harmoniously with subtle hints of wood, resulting in a well-balanced, smooth port.

Tasting Notes

Cockburn’s Porto Branco presents a light golden hue in the glass, inviting you in with its aromatic bouquet of citrus fruits and delicate floral undertones. On the palate, expect a bright and fresh character dominated by zesty lemon, green apple, and a touch of honeyed sweetness. The finish is smooth, with a crisp minerality that makes it an ideal aperitif for hot days. The combination of freshness and slight sweetness ensures it pairs well with both savoury and sweet dishes.
