Fonseca Siroco is a dry white Port first introduced in the 1950s and named after the warm wind which blows over the Mediterranean from North Africa. It is a blend of classic white Port grape varieties, predominantly Malvasia Fina with smaller proportions of Gouveio, Viosinho, Rabigato and Arinto, grown on the cooler, higher vineyards of the Douro Valley. To achieve its crisp dry finish, the wine is allowed to ferment for longer than other styles of Port before it is fortified. Ageing in small oak vats gives Siroco its smoothness as well as its attractive ripe fruit flavors and delicate nuttiness. White Port is most notably enjoyed as an apertif, mixed with tonic water, and served on ice.
