    Palmer White Port 2016 (Douro, Portugal)

    The 2016 Palmer shows a bright deep-gold colour and an inviting, fruit-forward nose of orange blossom, lemon peel and white peach, layered with acacia honey, vanilla pod and blanched almond. It’s medium-sweet yet lively on the palate: ripe pear and apricot sit over a spine of mouth-watering acidity, while gentle time in old oak brings nougat and subtle baking spice. A discreet saline snap keeps the finish precise and long, tapering with orange zest, almond cream and a light cedar echo.

    Serve well-chilled (10–12 °C) in a white-wine glass. It’s excellent as an aperitif and shines in a Portonic (equal parts Palmer White Port and good tonic over ice, citrus twist). Pair with salted almonds and olives, prawns with aioli, goat’s cheese tart or smoked trout; for dessert, think lemon tart, almond cake or pastéis de nata.

    Best enjoyed now for freshness, with potential to gain a touch more nutty complexity over the next 5–8 years. Once opened, it remains in fine form for 3–4 weeks if re-stoppered and kept in the fridge. Bottled under the Palmer label by Barão de Vilar – Van Zeller, a historic Douro family known for balanced, classically styled Ports.
