Our white wine is a blend of Malvasia Fina (beeswax notes) and Viosinho (a low yield, but high aromatic and fresh varietal).
Then you have the incredible Rabigato, famous for big structure and minerality and then Gouveio with it’s lovely citrus. A low
intervention wine, only the terroir informs the flavor here.
Wine Description
90 Points – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, winemag.com
“Lightly mineral in texture and with a fine bite of acidity, this wine is tight and textured. It has an edge of perfume from the Malvasia in the blend and some touches of spice. Drink the wine from 2023.” – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, December 1, 2022.
The Douro wine region takes its name from the Douro River, flowing from its source in north–central Spain (under the name
Duero) across northern Portugal to its outlet at Porto, on the Atlantic Coast. Known as the vinhateiro, this glorious winegrowing
region was the first in the world to have a formal demarcation (under the 1756 Portuguese charter protecting Port wine)
and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001. The Douro River valley vinhateiro is sheltered from Atlantic winds
by the Marão and Montemuro mountains and has a hot, continental climate with hot dry summers and cold winters. Terraced
vineyards line the steep, rugged riverbanks, subdivided into three subregions: Baixo Corgo, Cima Corgo and Douro Superior.
This small, 20–hectare property is classified by the IVDP (Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e Porto), who gives this Quinta an
A–rating for its choice terroir. Everything is hand harvested. All of the wines are foot–pressed in large granite lagares. This is a
distinctly Portuguese owned winery in Pinhao – the heart of the Douro.
