Castello D'Alba Galego - Douro Branco

Description

This enigmatic Moscatel Galego from Rui Roboredo is a delightfully perplexing wine – it initially throws you, but ultimately rewards patience. The meticulous winemaking – hand-harvested grapes, a gentle pressing, and months spent with the lees – clearly aims for something beyond the predictable. You’ll detect notes of roses and violets, beautifully balanced alongside the bright citrus of tangerine, a testament to the careful consideration of both the grape variety and the Douro’s unique terroir. Remarkably fresh acidity ensures a long, creamy finish, perfect alongside grilled fish with a squeeze of lemon.
