NV Offley Cachucha White Port

Post by Frederick Blais »

Ok, I've finally opened my bottle of white Port. I chose the Offley Cachucha. I don't think this product is widely available as I remember the tour lady at the lodges thought it was only available in Portugal... but who knows.

Really nice looking deep old gold color, fairly rich. The nose is exuberant, whiffs of alcool were gone after a few minutes to let emerge a nice complexity of white flowers, honey, pineapple and peaches in syrup flavours. Not very intense but quite enjoyable. On the palate the wine is showing good richness, very sweet, dominated by flavours of honey and pineapple, finale is short on fruits in syrup flavours and a bit burning because of the alcool.

A rich and sweet white port, full of concentrated tropical fruit flavours but because of that lacking fresnesh that helps you getting trough the bottle.14.5/20

Here is the picture of the bottle and the glass:
