Contraste Branco

Description

“O Contraste do Douro is a wine that immediately grabs your attention with its remarkable intensity. Crafted from Gouveio, Códega, Arinto and Rabigato grapes, it’s a seriously focused wine, boasting bright citrus notes alongside a compelling mineral backbone. The judicious use of both new and used oak adds to its vibrant acidity and evolving structure, while regular *bâtonnage* ensures a complex and layered finish. As Manuel Sapage and Rita Marques noted, it’s a superb accompaniment to seafood and vegetarian dishes, and will continue to develop beautifully in the bottle for 5-10 years – a true statement of Douro style.”
