Pacheca Branco DOC Douro is an elegant white wine from Portugal’s renowned Douro Valley, crafted by the historic Quinta da Pacheca. This wine is made from a carefully selected blend of native grape varieties such as Viosinho, Arinto, and Moscatel Galego, grown on vineyards at around 300 meters of altitude.
On the nose, Pacheca Branco reveals a delicate bouquet with notes of citrus fruits, white flowers, and a hint of tropical fruit. On the palate, it is fresh and well-balanced, featuring a lively acidity that lends the wine a pleasant freshness and mineral character. Its medium body and persistent finish make it a versatile companion to various dishes.
Vinification involves gentle pressing of hand-harvested grapes, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. A portion of the wine is then aged for several months on fine lees to enhance complexity and texture.
Pacheca Branco is an excellent choice as an aperitif or alongside light dishes such as seafood, grilled fish, salads, and poultry. Its freshness and elegance reflect the high quality and potential of white wines from the Douro region.
