Drinking Window: 2024 - 2029
Old vines of Rabigato, Gouveio and Viosinho yield the fruit for this beautiful Douro white crafted by the great Jorge Moreira at Quinta de La Rosa. Crunchy pineapple, juicy melon and zesty lemon play against a background of blanched almonds and white toast. Wide on the mid palate, with great acid drive and mineral weight.
