Permitido Rabigato Branco

Description

This Rabigato from the Douro Superior is a surprisingly ambitious young wine, grown on vines clinging to the very edge of the region at nearly 650 metres. The grapes, primarily Rabigato, deliver a remarkable intensity of white fruit, hinting at a potential for ageing that the producer clearly intends to investigate. Notably awarded 17.5 points at Grandes Escolhas, it boasts a long, persistent finish and a freshness that’s quite frankly, defying expectation – ideal with grilled fish or a seafood dish, naturally.
