Description

"The older oak that this is aged in allows for the fresh and ripe white fruits to shine through whilst giving it texture. It is incredible to think this has spent so long in oak as it has such high acidity. It is charming and beautiful, with notes of lemon zest, grapefruit pith, white peach and nectarines and a touch of fresh apricots. A slightly nutty note on the palate which doesn't go without recognition, and is much adored by my fellow tasters. This is showing that their is great potential for the Douro Valley, and all of Portugal for that matter, with respect for white wines. This is great now and will continue to improve for many years to come!"

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Conceito

Conceito is a new wave winery making incredible wines up in the Upper Douro Valley in northern Portugal. This is the hub of the fortified wines of Port. Conceito is making some incredible Ports as well as some stunning table wines - their whites in particular! This is a family winery headed by Carla and Rita, Mum and Daughter, respectively.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

White Blend

The Douro Valley, where Port is produced, is without a doubt red wine country but you do see the odd white wine and white Port made. The main grapes are Ribagato and Gouveio but you can also see some Malvasia and Alvarinho in them too. The result is a refreshing, full bodied white wine with decent acidity and a range of tropical and stonefruit flavours. 

 

--------THE REGION--------

Douro Valley

The Douro Valley is by far the most important and well-known region in all of Portugal. It has the longest history of winemaking as well. The Douro is practically synonymous with Port - the fortified wine that is made in the region, though in recent years 'table wine' has become modernised and more popular.
