Rabigato (40%)
Viosinho (40%)
Codega do Larinho (20%)
Made from a blend of indiginous varieties Viosinho, Rabigato and Côdega de Larinho grown between 450-650m altitude. The wine has a light yellow colour, it is made protectively for a fresh and clean style with vibrant fruit character. The nose is bursting with citrus notes such as grapefruit and stone fruit such as white peach, nectarine peel and honeysuckle. The concentrated fruit on the palate is balanced with fresh acidity and round mouth feel, leaving you with a long finish of ripe stone fruit.
The Douro region of northern Portugal takes its name from the Douro river, the longest in the Iberian Peninsula, which flows east to west from the Spanish border to the Atlantic Ocean. Though Douro is best known for its fortified wines, total production here is evenly split with its unfortified wines gaining greater recognition for quality using local varieties. The Douro`s most unifying trait is varied soil types and vineyards being located on steep dry slopes either side of the river and its myriad tributaries on narrow rocky terraces.
