Immensely fresh fragrances of white owers where jasmine and honeysuckle take centre stage with hints of vanilla in the background. Secondary aromas gradually arise with pineapple and yellow plum and delicate toast revealing impeccable barrel integration. On the palate, there is apricot, green apple and crispy citrous notes whose acidity provides exquisite elegance and balance. Finishes with a lovely, subtle smoky feel. A beautifully proportioned wine.
Produced from two Symington family vineyards: Tapadinha (at 580m in the Torto River Valley) and Chões (at 520m in the Pinhão River Valley). The terroir of these two river valleys, particularly with regard to altitude, is key. Altitude allows more moderate temperatures and a balanced maturation.
Head Winemaker, Charles Symington, and our DOC Winemaker, Pedro Correia, searched for vineyards that were capable of delivering the freshness and balance required to produce an exquisite white wine from the Douro. The result A stunning expression of the Douro, sourced from two of their most prized high-altitude vineyards.
