The Golden Whites Mith

Dalva Golden White 1963 ...a normal winter and a cold and rainy spring, with a very dry and hot summer with some rain before the harvest time.
In September the days were very hot and warm nights, a perfect weather for the harvest.
Strong wines, with a lot of tanins and amazing color.
These were the weather conditions that allowed this o...utstanding Dalva Golden White 1963 production, a mythical Vintage year !
With a very fashionable good looking 50cl bottle and simple presentation...elegance !

Greenish tints when balancing the glass, rich in aromatics, dry fruits, figs jam, molasses...sweet.
With a long silky aftertaste, that fulfill the mouth.

In C. da Silva Port House/tasting room we´re proud to offer the tasting in the official Port wine glass designed in 2001, by the most prestigious portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira, and produced by Schott Zwiesel.
This official Port glass has about 227ml capacity... that is also the double of the regular glass used for Port or liqueurs. About 50ml is the perfect amount, to enhance the richness of the "bouquet".
