Portuguese master class The port city of Porto, located at the mouth of the Douro, gave its name to what is probably the most famous wine in the world. The wine, which has been highly prized in England since the middle of the 17th century, is shipped from there. Its growing area is about 100 kilometers upstream in the upper Douro valley. 80 different grape varieties thrive on heat-storing slate soils on the steep slopes, of which up to 40 varieties are approved for port wine production. Today, modern cellar technology ensures gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation, which is stopped after two to three days by adding wine distillate. Osborne White Port, made exclusively from white grapes, is left to ferment until a slight residual sugar content is reached before wine distillate is added, resulting in a light golden, delicately sweet aperitif port.The young wine is stored in the vineyards over the winter, and in the spring it is taken downstream to Vila Nova de Gaia, opposite Porto, where Osborne, like all famous port wine houses, has its "lodges". There the wine matures for three years in wooden barrels before bottling.Like most port wines, Osborne White Port is a cuvée made from wines from different locations and vintages, so that a consistent quality is achieved over the years.
