about the wine

The Douro is hot and dry. The 2022 agricultural year was even hotter and drier, which, in a land of extremes, is saying quite a lot.
In regions marked by climates like the Douro, skin-contact wines can easily lose freshness, becoming heavy and flat. Because we believe in the resilience of the vineyard and the Douro region, we insisted on making a white wine with light skin contact, a macerated wine. We chose high-altitude, north-facing vineyards, with grapes full of tension and vibrancy. We focused on a very delicate extraction, with the wine aging in a barrel from Quinta do Ameal from 2002. The Douro is special.It is part of Esporão’s innovation project "Fio da Navalha".
