Our February selection includes a wonderful Branco from Duoro. Nestled in the heart of Portugal, the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, historic vineyards, and, of course, its exceptional wines. While the region is often associated with its world-famous Port wines, there's another hidden gem waiting to be discovered — Douro Branco. This white wine, crafted in the same terroir that produces the iconic Ports, offers a unique and refreshing taste of Portugal's winemaking prowess.

 

The region's diverse microclimates, varying elevations, and ancient schist soils contribute to the creation of wines with a distinctive character.

Douro Branco wines are celebrated for their elegance, complexity, and versatility. A typical tasting experience may reveal notes of citrus, green apple, and stone fruits, accompanied by a subtle minerality that reflects the region's schist soils. The wines often display a well-balanced acidity, making them suitable for various occasions and food pairings.

 

Pairing Douro Branco with local Portuguese cuisine can elevate the dining experience. The wine's acidity complements seafood dishes, such as bacalhau (salted codfish) or grilled sardines. Additionally, its versatility makes it a delightful match for creamy cheeses, roasted chicken, and even spicy dishes.
