The reason of using the expression "Distinctive Port" in all our labels is that since the very beginning this Company tried to depart from the others.

Aged in very old french oak barrels, showing very intense and persistent aromas and flavors, on the mouth, elegant and unctuous... a unique style and market targeting:

The single Dry White Ports range in the Port wine trade:

3 YO Dry White

The Dalva Dry White ages during three years and is quite floral, with a lot of citrus on the nose, it is a light Port wine, slightly bitter at the end, should be tasted very chilled.

Optionally can be enjoyed with a lemon slice, or as a long drink with tonic water.

On the mouth it reveals a freshness and a distinctive medium-dry finish, the profile that calls for the Dalva 10 Years Old Dry White as an aperitif Port wine before a meal.






15 YO Dry White

During 20 years, the Chef Miguel Castro e Silva has participated in Port wine tastings, experiencing combinations with this nectar, always trying to depart from the classical dessert.

After an extensive tasting discovering the vast stock of C. da Silva, arose the idea of creating a White Port with dry and open profile, thought to act as a balm, with a unique structure and color, an amber color with golden tints, highlights its potential when tasted with foie gras, orange cake and tuna based entrees.

Thought to taste at the table, but not only, DALVA Lote Miguel Castro Silva shows qualities of a Port wine thought to a simple tasting, served between 12º to 14º as an aperitif before a meal.
