Bravo Organic White
Inspired by BRAVO, the mythical guardian of the Douro, these organic wines come from Quinta da Trovisca, at 450–500 meters altitude. The schist soil and elevation bring freshness and minerality, resulting in a youthful, vibrant style full of personality. Both white and red show a firm and pure character, made for those who appreciate the true essence of terroir.

Winemaking Details
Viticulture:
2024 brought a balanced growing season to the Douro Valley. A cool, wet winter replenished water reserves, followed by a mild spring that encouraged even budburst. Summer remained warm with low disease pressure. A short heatwave in late July was managed through careful canopy work. Our vineyards produced healthy, concentrated fruit. White grape harvest began in early September.
Fermentation:
Rabigato, Arinto, and Gouveio were hand-harvested at ideal ripeness, chilled to 8–10°C, and gently pressed. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 15°C using native yeasts. Lees contact with regular bâtonnage enhanced texture. Fermentation lasted 20 days.
Aging:
Aged for 6 months in stainless steel with frequent bâtonnage for 4 months before bottling.
