Cockburn’s White Heights Port

Detailed Description

This colourful creation comes from Port experts Cockburn’s, and is called White Heights – because it’s a white Port! Made with grapes drawn from a small selection of high-altitude vineyards, this is a medium dry affair, with bright acidity and tropical notes. An absolute winner in a Port & Tonic, we say.

Cockburn’s White Heights Port Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh tropical fruit flavours such as papaya and pineapple lead the way

Palate: Light aromas of honeysuckle.

Finish: Crisp yellow plum and pear notes finish with a touch of vanilla.

Distillery Information

Cockburn’s has always questioned the so-called ‘rules’ for making port. Back in 1815, Robert and John Cockburn, two brothers from Scotland, bypassed the stuffy merchant’s fair in Porto and bought the very best grapes directly from farmers upriver in the Douro. The look on their faces…We’ve done things our way, declaring vintage years whenever we feel it’s right, regardless of what rival port houses might think.
