Castello D`Alba Branco

Description

This Castello d’Alba, a project championed by Rui Roboredo for nearly two decades, is a beautiful demonstration of patience and a deep connection with the land yielding truly elegant results. Born from unirrigated vineyards in the Douro Superior, where the Rabigato, Códega, Verdelho and Viosinho grapes bravely face the elements, it’s a vibrant celebration of natural acidity – a characteristic these resilient grapes clearly ‘love’. The meticulous, ‘gentle’ winemaking – cold crashing, inert gas pressing – feels almost reverent, and the indigenous yeast fermentation further amplifies the wine’s earthy character. The result is a dry, lively white perfect alongside fresh, grilled fish – a testament, undeniably, to Rui Roboredo’s unwavering dedication to quality.
