Quinta de Cidrô presents the first Alvarinho produced in the Douro Valley, which is yet another superb result of the continuous inovation and experimentation present at the property. The idea of producing an Alvarinho in a different region other than the Vinho Verde, resulted from the aspiration to produce a a top quality single varietal wine, from a Portuguese grape.
Made 100% with the varietal Alvarinho, which benefits from the high altitude and cool breezes at Quinta de Cidrô, this wine is fermented it in stainless steel and ageing in the same vessels for a period of 6 months. This process allows to preserve all the freshness and acidity of Cidrô’s terroir.
This Alvarinho is characterized by very fine and delicate citric and orange blosson notes, which create immense aromatic complexity. It shows great varietal expression and uniqueness, as it is in fact a Douro white: structured and full, revealing flavours which can be traced through its aroma. Its flavourful minerality and crisp acidity highlight the tasting as it finishes off with great distinction.
