Description
Crafted from old-vine Viosinho, Arinto and Gouveio grown on steep Douro terraces, the 2020 Branco Grande Reserva from Quinta da Devesa is a limited-edition white of exceptional structure and finesse. Aged for 12 months in French oak, it balances mineral tension with creamy richness – the hallmark of top-tier Portuguese whites.
Tasting Notes:
Golden straw in colour. On the nose, aromas of citrus blossom, green pineapple, toasted almond, and subtle vanilla. The palate is full and layered: fresh stone fruit and saline minerality meet a gentle oak spice and creamy finish. Complex and gastronomic.
Food Pairing & Serving:
Serve chilled (10–12°C). Pairs beautifully with grilled turbot, roast chicken, seafood risotto, or creamy cheeses. Decant for 15 minutes to allow full expression.
Quinta da Devesa is a historic, family-owned estate in Portugal’s Douro Valley, producing award-winning wines and ports since 1941. Combining traditional methods with modern precision, the estate is renowned for its elegant, terroir-driven expressions of native grape varieties.
