Quinta Da Gaivosa Branco

Descrição

The Gaivosa White is an emblematic wine from the Douro, one of the pioneers in asserting the region’s white wines during the “New Douro” movement that began in the 1990s. With its first harvest in 1992, it represents an innovative approach paired with tradition, celebrating the Duriense white varieties of Quinta da Gaivosa, historically linked to the production of white Port. This wine stems from a profound transformation in viticulture and oenology, selecting the best white grapes planted in cooler areas of the estate, at higher altitudes, and with north- and east-facing exposures. The harvest is made earlier, preserving natural acidity and ensuring greater freshness and balance. In the cellar, the process is carried out with precision and sensitivity, including gentle pressing, careful must clarification, low-temperature fermentation, and ageing on fine lees. This method contributes to an elegant profile, with excellent aromatic expression and enveloping texture. The result is a fresh, mineral, and complex Douro white that reflects Quinta da Gaivosa’s unique terroir and its commitment to quality, tradition, and innovation.
