Poças Branco da Ribeira 2021, Douro, Portugal
£60.00 – £324.00
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!
Tasting notes
Yellow pale in colour with aromas of citrus and soft toasty notes. The palate has floral and citrus notes with a well integrated oak flavours. There are nuances from the less ageing of toasted brioche and then that is all swept away with beautiful minerality. The wine benefits from a long and elegant finish.
