White wine

about the wine

Respecting the wine tradition of the oldest demarcated region in the world, these wines are produced based on their native varieties. Versatile and gastronomic, they embody the cooler side of the Douro.

DOURO – ALTITUDE – FRESHNESS

2022 was an exceptionally hot and dry year. Winter temperatures were 1.5ºC above average with 80% less precipitation. Spring continued the drier and warmer trend. In late August and September, however, temperatures dropped and helped the vines to complete their cycle. Rain between 12-15 September further helped to finish maturation. The white wine harvest began on 17 August, 6 days earlier than the previous year and yielded a good balance of fruit and acidity.
