Description
In a nutshell:
Crisp orchard fruits, a touch of citrus, and refreshing minerality that's the essence of this elegant white from Portugal's Douro Valley.
The lowdown:
This white from Portugal's Douro region offers delicate aromas of citrus and stone fruit. A blend of local varieties including Viosinho, and Arinto it comes from terraced vineyards that cling to the region's steep slopes. There's freshness here, balanced by a subtle creaminess from a touch of oak. Overall, this is a well-balanced, textural white - textured and refreshing, with hints of minerality that reflect its distinctive origin.
The Producer:
Symington Family Estates may be synonymous with Port, but their Quinta do Ataíde project reveals another side to the Douro Valley. Here, the focus is squarely on crafting distinctive still wines from organically farmed vineyards. Located in the cooler Vilariça Valley, these wines offer a refreshing take on classic Douro varieties. Think Touriga Nacional with vibrant fruit, ripe yet elegant tannins, and a sense of place that's distinct from their fortified cousins. Ataíde represents a commitment to showcasing the Douro's compelling versatility and the Symington family's unwavering dedication to quality.
When to drink:
A zesty, citrusy white which is just the thing for nibbles before dinner, or a simple plate of grilled sardines.
Suitable for Vegans
