Taylor’s Chip Dry is a dry white port, I enjoy it with a slice of lemon and some tonic water. It’s quite dry (hint in the name) though it is light and refreshing with sweet citrus flavours. Great for hot summer days as an aperitif.

We tried this champagne at a friends house and boy did it not disappoint! A deep yellow colour, atypical for champagne. In fact this was more of a wine that was carbonated rather than champagne. Great citrus flavours and minerality and nice acidity. Bubbles were smooth and creamy. Recommended.

Type: Tawny Port
Country: Portugal – Douro
Overall, a nice Tawny with good flavours of dried fruits and nuts. I found that the complexity was a bit lacking, though I did try it at the same time as a few exceptional 20-year olds and a great Colheita. If you like your Tawny you’ll enjoy this.

As 20 year Tawny Ports go, this is one of the best. Great flavours of hazelnut, dried fruits and caramel. Sweet, but not overpowering; smooth with a long sumptuous finish.

Decent red from Spain. Light on the tongue with nice flavours of berries. Doesn’t have the complexity of a proper Rioja, but a nice bottle that is quite decent value for money.

Type: Pink Port
Country: Portugal – Douro
This was the first blush Port I was served, ever, so I had no expectations! It didn’t make the best first impression because it had stolen Thomas Pink’s logo. Oh well.
The wine itself is bright and refreshing, reminiscent of a sparkling raspberry cocktail laced with floral notes. This would appeal to the ladies. I think that the lads will stick with white port mixed with tonic water and mint and lime.

Fonseca Siroco is a white port, best enjoyed chilled — sometimes with a slice of lemon and some tonic water. It is a dry port, certainly one of the driest that you will find. Light and refreshing with sweet citrus flavours. Great for hot summer days or as an aperitif.

We tried this champagne because it had been recommend to us by a friend. Overall, it was quite good (and great value for money). This medium sweet champagne had great hints of citrus and a nice creamy texture.

Beautiful floral yet zesty nose. Deliciously sweet and would go well with desserts. Pale golden colour.

For some, white port is a bit of an enigma. It is typically dry and very different in flavour to a traditional ruby or tawny port. This white port should be served cold, as an aperitif before a meal. Personally I liked this port, it was sweet for a white port. It would taste great with a bit of tonic water and a lemon (very refreshing on a hot day)!
