DOURO

Maria Mansa White 2024 displays a bright citrine colour, conveying youthful freshness. The nose is pronounced, with white fruit (pear, apple) and tropical notes, complemented by citrus and subtle mineral hints. On the palate it shows vibrant acidity, a silky texture, and medium body balanced between fruit expression and crispness. The finish is long and satisfying, with floral nuances and gentle saline undertones that enhance elegance. A refined, aromatic white from the Douro.

A de Arinto Pormenor 2020 shows a clear straw-yellow hue. On the nose, it offers subtle reductive aromas blended with dried herb, green apple, and a faint toast from barrel ageing. On the palate, its mineral character and strong citrus presence, especially lemon peel come through against a medium, slightly voluminous body. The finish is medium-length, driven by a vibrant acidity that leaves the palate wanting more. The oak is seamlessly integrated, complementing rather than overpowering the varietal expression.

With a pristine straw-yellow hue, this wine greets the nose with crisp citrus aromas and a striking mineral edge, as if drawn from the Douro Superior’s schist soils. A partial stint in French oak subtly whispers into the scene, adding a toasted nuance that complements the liveliness of Rabigato and Viosinho. On the palate, it delivers both body and brightness, with clean acidity and a clear, lingering finish. A wine that truly reflects its terroir and freshness—ideal with grilled fish or traditional salted cod.

Arribas do Douro Reserva Branco 2022 offers mineral elegance and captivating aromatic complexity. On the nose, it reveals fresh citrus and green apple notes, wrapped in subtle hints of vanilla and toast from its 12 month aging in French oak barrels. On the palate, it is vibrant and structured, with firm acidity and a long finish, making it a perfect match for cod dishes or white meats.

Aneto White 2023 has a citrus colour with slight greenish reflections. On the nose, it shows an exuberant and elegant aroma, with an essence of white fruit and tropical notes, enhanced by a subtle mineral background and delicate vanilla nuances. The palate shows good structure, vibrant and balanced acidity, with volume and clear flavours. The finish is long and delicate, maintaining persistence and harmony over time. A wine that combines freshness, minerality and typical Douro elegance.
