Quinta Vale Dona Maria Vinha De Martim Branco

Description

This Vinha do Martim feels like it’s sprung straight from a Douro fairytale – quite a dramatic entrance, wouldn’t you say? The old vines are clearly putting up a fight, driven by a terroir that demands a certain level of deference. That nine-month period in new French oak has gifted it with a truly dazzling shine and a youthful energy, expressed through a remarkably vibrant attack and an acidity that clings to the fruit with delicious intensity. Seriously, this one deserves a plate of fresh white fish and seafood rice – a match made in wine heaven.
