About this winery

From its mythical 1840 vintage to the superb Vintage declared by Fonseca over the last decade, the house has produced an impressive series of exceptional vintages, even in the worst moments in the history of the trade.

White port blends perfectly with seafood and goes particularly well with lobster, crab, mungo fish, swordfish or smoked fish appetizers such as salmon and oysters.
