Titan Of Douro Branco

Description

This “Titan of the Douro” certainly isn’t for the faint of heart. Born from centenary vines nestled amongst the rugged slopes between 750 and 850 metres, it boasts a remarkably vibrant acidity – a direct consequence of the schist-granite soils where the legendary Tedon and Rauzendo once thrived. Despite the intensity of the grapes – Gouveio, Vinhas Velhas, Arinto, Rabigato and Verdelho – the winemaking is surprisingly gentle, employing extended maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The result is a wine brimming with aromas of white stone fruit, like honeydew and peach, underpinned by a distinct mineral structure that truly captures the essence of the Douro landscape. Perfect for pairing with rich seafood, cured fish or aged cheeses – this is a wine for those who appreciate the robust power and intricate character of the region.
