This shows a lot of finesse, with a hint of toast weaving through the lemon blossom, fresh heather and ripe white peach flavors, lightly detailed by ethereal accents of spice, mineral and chamomile tea. Like a fine white Burgundy, this medium-bodied white should age nicely. Rabigato, Viosinho, Gouveio and Côdega do Larinho. Drink now through 2027.

My Notes
One of the top white wines from the Douro - A great lieu-dit Meursault always comes to mind when I taste this. - 3 Michelin Star Restaurant PerSe in NYC, poured this BTG as their answer for an affordable White Burgundy
- Vines are 50 years old, granite and schiste soils
- 2 parcels in the northern Douro Valley mountain tops
- High elevation, mountain-top vineyards to preserve freshness and acidity
- A judicious 6 months in only 30% new French oak barrique, the rest used and larger tonneau
Equal parts 4 indigenous and important white grapes:
