Taylor Fladgate is one of the Douro’s oldest and most celebrated Port houses, with a history stretching back to 1692. In 1934, Taylor Fladgate made history again — pioneering the dry white aperitif Port category with the creation of Chip Dry, a wine that has since built a devoted following throughout the world. Nearly a century later, it remains the benchmark for the style: a Port of unusual dryness, elegance, and versatility that has changed the way the world thinks about Port as an aperitif.
Chip Dry is made from selected dry white Ports produced from grapes grown in the Douro Superior — the eastern, most continental area of the Douro Valley. The blend is led by Malvasia Fina, alongside Viosinho, Rabigato, Gouveio, and Arinto. Vinified using the traditional Port method, brandy is added later in fermentation than usual — when much of the sugar has already converted to alcohol — producing a Port of exceptional dryness. The individual wines are matured separately in oak vats for four to five years before blending and bottling.
Pale straw in color, with a delicate nose of fresh fruit, mellow oak, and the characteristic aromas of a traditional white Port. The palate is fresh and lively, with good flavor and a crisp, dry finish. Serve well chilled.
