Sweetness: Dry

Grape(s): Rabigato, Gouveio, Viosinho

Grape info: A classic white blend from Portugal's Douro Valley, Rabigato, Gouveio and Viosinho combines bright citrus and stone fruit flavours with floral aromas, crisp acidity and a distinctive mineral edge. Rabigato provides freshness, Gouveio adds body and ripe fruit, while Viosinho contributes texture, complexity and excellent ageing potential.

Info: Quinta do Côtto is one of the Douro Valley's historic estates, with origins dating back to 1757 and a reputation as the birthplace of the first Douro DOC wines. Situated in the Baixo Corgo, its vineyards occupy steep schist slopes overlooking the Douro River, including many vines over a century old. Combining this exceptional terroir with modern winemaking under the guidance of David Baverstock and Vasco Rosa Santos, Quinta do Côtto produces elegant, age-worthy wines that express the freshness, finesse and heritage of the Douro.

Produced from Rabigato, Gouveio and Viosinho, the wine is partially fermented and matured in oak barrels, adding depth and complexity while preserving its freshness.

Tasting note: Deep ruby in colour, this Douro red combines ripe red and black fruit with notes of spice, vanilla and gentle toast. The palate is structured yet polished, with well-integrated tannins, good depth and a long, balanced finish.

Character: Blackcurrant, vanilla, spice.
