This White Port is a unique creation from our family, crafted from 47 distinct grape varieties. The grapes were destemmed and gently pressed, allowing the juice to ferment without the skins. It is a White Port made our way, designed to age, yet bottled young to preserve its fresh aromas. Unique, and perhaps unrepeatable.
Pale yellow, revealing youth and freshness.
Very expressive and complex, with citrus notes of lemon and lime combined with floral aromas of orange blossom and jasmine. Tropical nuances like pineapple and passion fruit complete the aromatic profile. Very fruity and complex, with notes of red and black fruits such as cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant, intertwined with subtle hints of spice and a floral touch of violets, due to the diversity of grape varieties.
Light and elegant, with a refreshing acidity that gently balances the sweetness. Citrus and floral flavors dominate, with a mineral touch that lingers on the finish, leaving a fresh and sophisticated sensation. Full-bodied and balanced, with a richness of flavors that combine youth and depth. The ripe fruit flavors are complemented by a smooth tannic structure and vibrant acidity, providing a long and harmonious finish with fruity and spicy notes.

Viticulture:
Terrace-planted vines at Quinta de Santa Bárbara, located at the mouth of the Torto River in São João da Pesqueira. This vineyard is likely the most diverse and complete field blend of local grape varieties in the Douro Valley.
Fermentation:
The grapes were destemmed and underwent a wild fermentation in stainless steel lagares with temperature control, not exceeding 24°C. The must was machine-trodden four times daily. Once the residual sugar dropped below 110 g/L, the wine was fortified and transferred to stainless steel tanks.
Aging:
Aged for 2 years in stainless steel, preserving freshness and primary fruit character. Bottled with a long cork to support aging potential. This is a Single Quinta Vintage Port from the 2022 harvest.
