Despite the enormous dedication in all of our Port wines, in C. da SILVA / DALVA we´ve a UNIQUE Port category... the C. da SILVA / DALVA Golden White´s.
C. da SILVA / DALVA´s flagship... most of the people a little bit spread out in all over the world never heard about White Ports, or, if they had, probably the blending Whites with no more than three years old, but this exceptional (Golden White) White Port "Colheita"... turned that chapter forever.
A carefull selection of grapes gives a unique style to this single harvest wine, a 50 cl "Golden Nugget".
Decades of evaporation have concentrated this extraordinary wine almost to an essence.
Enormous complexity in aroma and flavours, it is a pleasure to be discovered by PORT LOVERS !
A public recognition of our Ports quality, it is a honor and a privilege, a very important argument in the presentation to new customers.
Nowadays our Cellar only makes the Dalva Golden White 1952 bottling by request, allowing the continuity ageing process of the DALVA Golden White 1952 in small french oak casks.
It presents us with a outstanding " bouquet", brutal acidity, it surprises any Portwine expert, due to the complexity, refined quality and a lingering finish.
Dry fruit shell, nougat, honey, caramel, vanilla, toffee, expresso, cigar box, butterscotch, caramelised orange, stewed figs... Toasted with an amazing silky texture...
Nowadays, also with an extraordinary sucess C. da SILVA / DALVA has the Golden White 1963, with a distinctive vision into the Port wine trade C. da SILVA / DALVA will continue with the Golden White´s heritage.
A long commitment, of releasing a Golden White per decade !
