It is combined with varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Cao, Tinta Francesa, among others.

Red port is served with Portuguese cheeses, cheddar cheese, smoked gouda as well as nuts and nuts. White port, on the other hand, which should be served chilled on its own or with tonic and lemon, goes well with appetizers with smoked salmon and dried plums.
