A wine produced from white indigenous Douro varieties sourced from an area called “Ribeira de Teja” located in Quinta de Vale de Cavalos, which enhances the minerality of the terroir. The ageing in new oak casks gives this wine complexity and structure, amplifying its flavours. This arguably one of the finest whites to come out of the country. Incredible!
