Conceito - Douro Branco White 2018

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

High altitude Douro white, including ancient vines planted on granite, including some pre phylloxera. Aging in quality French oak barriques, with batonnage, results in a very classy wine. Vibrant enough to enjoy young, but cellars extremely well too.

"The 2018 Branco, the estate flagship, is a field blend from old (centenarian) vines aged for ten months in used French oak. Principal grapes include common Douro whites, like Rabigato, Códega, Códega do Larinho, Cerceal, Gouveio and others. It comes in at 13% alcohol. This was set for bottling in a week, but it was the final blend. Beautifully balanced, this handles its wood brilliantly, allowing the fresh fruit to show off its stuff. It's a little delicate this year, but it also has an enlivening demeanor that lets it dance across the palate. This understated white is perfect to drink, but it could use a bit more body. It is still young—let's see if it develops in the bottle."-Mark Squires
