Tasting note
Pretty, exotic Portuguese white, aromatic with passion fruit and orange blossom, followed by a mouthful of peaches.
Viticulture
Sourced from cooler higher altitude plots in the stunning Douro Valley which are better suited to the cultivation of white grape varieties. Indigenous grape varieties such as Rabigato and Códega do Larinho are used.
Vinification
The grapes are sorted, destemmed and pressed after arriving at the winery. The grape must is transferred to stainless steel vats where it remains for 48 hours at 8ºC for settling. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 14ºC for 20 days.
Food Match
A great accompaniment to lighter dishes, making it perfect summertime drinking. Try it with a middle-eastern-style tomato, feta and pomegranate salad, as well as South Asian cuisine.
