Producer Information: Delaforce
Delaforce is a historic wine producer based in the Douro Valley of Portugal, an area celebrated for its unique terroir and centuries-old winemaking traditions. Founded in 1868 by George Delaforce, the house quickly established itself as a significant player in the port wine industry. Delaforce’s production approach centers on sourcing grapes from prime vineyard sites within the Douro region, focusing on traditional Portuguese grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz. The winery combines time-honored vinification methods with modern techniques to ensure consistency and quality across its range of fortified wines.
Beyond their classic port offerings, Delaforce has expanded its portfolio to include a selection of still wines crafted from indigenous Douro varietals.

The producer also explores limited releases of aged tawnies and vintage ports, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

White Porto is a fortified wine originating from the Douro Valley in Portugal, crafted primarily from grape varieties such as Malvasia Fina, Gouveio, Viosinho, and Rabigato. This unique style of wine is characterized by its sweet, rich, and complex flavor profile that features delightful notes of honey, dried fruits, nuts, and citrus. The vinification process involves fermentation followed by the addition of grape spirit to halt fermentation, resulting in a smooth and viscous texture with a full-bodied mouthfeel.
The aromatic experience of White Porto is equally captivating, offering scents of apricot, orange peel, almond, caramel, and floral notes. It pairs beautifully with blue cheese, pâté, foie gras, or indulgent desserts like fruit tarts or crème brûlée. For optimal enjoyment, it is recommended to serve White Porto chilled at 8-10°C (46-50°F) in small glasses to fully appreciate its intricate flavors and aromas.
