The Vallado Prima Branco DOC Douro is an elegant, single-varietal white wine from the renowned Quinta do Vallado estate, which has been producing wine in the Douro Valley since 1716. Made exclusively from the indigenous Moscatel Galego Branco grape, this wine stands out with its dry style, offering a distinctive take on the typically aromatic Muscat variety.
On the nose, Vallado Prima reveals delicate floral aromas of rose petals with a subtle hint of peppermint. On the palate, it is refined and expressive, dominated by floral notes and finishing with a fresh, persistent aftertaste.
The vinification follows the open spout method (“bica aberta”), with fermentation taking place over approximately one month at controlled temperatures between 14°C and 16°C. The wine is then aged for three months in stainless steel tanks to preserve its freshness and aromatic purity.
With an alcohol content of around 12.5% vol and a balanced acidity, Vallado Prima is a perfect choice as an aperitif or to accompany light appetizers. Its freshness and elegance make it an ideal wine for warm days and for wine lovers seeking to explore the diversity of Portuguese white wines.
