Douro Branco is a crisp and refreshing white wine that hails from the Douro region of Portugal. It features a bright, pale yellow color and a delicate aroma of citrus fruits, such as lemon, lime, and grapefruit, with subtle floral notes. On the palate, this wine is light-bodied and lively, with a zesty acidity that provides a pleasant freshness and a mineral finish that enhances its complexity. The fruit flavors are well-balanced by a subtle touch of oak, making it a versatile wine that pairs well with seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.
Did you know that Douro Branco, a white wine from the Douro region of Portugal, is made from a blend of grape varieties that are unique to the region? The most commonly used grape varieties in Douro Branco are Malvasia Fina, Viosinho, Rabigato, Gouveio, and Códega do Larinho. These grapes are grown on steep terraced vineyards that are carved into the rugged hillsides of the Douro Valley, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Pairs wonderfully with lighter fare. Enjoy it with "bacalhau à Brás," a traditional Portuguese dish made with shredded cod, onions, and potatoes, or savor it with grilled sardines for a delightful combination that highlights the wine's crisp acidity.
