Malvasia Fina

About this grape variety

An old, widely planted Douro white (Malvasia Fina being a misnomer — DNA shows it is unrelated to true Malvasias), the grape is a workhorse of traditional white Ports and Douro DOC whites. Wines tend to medium body with apple, citrus, and gentle floral notes. Increasingly blended with Gouveio and Viosinho in modern, fresher Douro whites; old plantings on schistous slopes remain valuable.
