This 2006 vintage showcases a beautiful pale straw color that hints at its refreshing character. With a medium body, the wine presents a delightful balance between lively acidity and a subtle creaminess that adds depth. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring vibrant notes of citrus and stone fruits, which are beautifully complemented by a delicate mineral undertone. The wine's overall dryness and crisp finish make it an exceptional accompaniment to seafood dishes or light salads, truly exemplifying the charm of Douro's white wine offerings.

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.
