Quinta do Vale Meão Douro Superior Monte Meão Branco 2023
The first Branco from Monte Meão: From the single vineyards Vinha do Rio and Vinha do Janeanes, where Arinto and Rabigato thrive on alluvial and slate soils, coping well with the heat of the Douro Superior. Fermented in 500-litre barrels; a quarter new wood, the rest in their second or third year of use. Aged on the fine lees for five months with regular bâtonnage, followed by a further four months of barrel ageing. Very mineral, citrusy freshness with a beautiful body and a light melt.

Quinta do Vale Meão
5150-501 Vila Nova de Foz Côa
PORTUGAL
When the grande dame of port, Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, acquired an impressive 300 hectares near the Spanish border in 1877, she laid the foundation for one of the most exciting quintas Portugal has to offer. North of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Vila Nova de Foz Côa, the Douro River meanders, creating three different soil formations: stony alluvial, granite and slate combine to form a unique terroir covering 98 hectares of cultivated land. Since 1998, Dona Antónias great-great-grandson Francisco de Olazabal and his son of the same name have been producing outstanding quality wines here. The red grapes ripen in individual plots, are fermented separately and then blended into cuvées. The single-varietal tintos from Monte Meão also impress with their concentration and extraordinary elegance.
