The history of the Port House Offley Forrester begins in 1737, when the English merchant William Offley settles in Porto. In 1803 Joseph James Forrester, a famous wine expert who developed a method for combating a devastating grape disease, adheres to the house. Nearly 300 years later, Offley Forrester is one of the biggest port houses in the world. This is a fresh, young and sweet white port made from the traditional white grape varieties from the Douro region, such as Malvasia Fina, Codega, Viosinho and Gouveio.
