Gonçalves Costa Mendes

2015 Douro Viosinho (40%), Rabigato (40%), Arinto (20%)

Quinta Vale Do Bragao Gonçalves Costa Mendes showcases the captivating essence of the Douro region through its remarkable blend of Viosinho, Rabigato, and Arinto. This white wine presents a vibrant golden hue, enticing the senses even before the first sip. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied experience, balanced beautifully by a refreshing acidity that evokes a sense of brightness and liveliness. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing delightful notes of citrus and stone fruits that dance harmoniously throughout. Despite its lively profile, the wine maintains a subtle dryness, creating a pleasing mouthwatering quality. This elegant expression from the Douro region is a testament to the careful craftsmanship and dedication of its producers, making it a stellar choice for any occasion.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
