English winemaker Matt Gant and Portuguese viticulturalist João Pires collaborate to produce this fresh, zesty white from high vineyards in the Douro's Cima Corgo. A blend of roughly equal parts Rabigato and Gouveio, the textured palate shows lemon and grapefruit notes, plus riper melon and pineapple, with a salty mineral streak and brisk acidity.
