Sip of the Day

I adore Port wine, but sometimes hesitate to drink a glass because of its sweetness—delicious, but pulling no punches. This Chip Dry White Porto from Taylor Fladgate is the perfect choice when my palate needs something lighter but still craves a sweet treat. Port is made by adding brandy to the must in order to halt fermentation and preserve the natural sugar. This Chip Dry White is made by adding the brandy at a later point during fermentation, thus allowing more of the sugars to convert to alcohol. The result is a Port wine with 24 grams of sugar per liter, compared to the classic Ruby or Tawny which can clock in around 97-100 gr/l. Refreshing on the rocks or mixed in cocktails, too!
