QUINTA SANRADELA VELHA

Branco 2023

2023 was a typical year for the Douro region. A particularly warm spring accelerated vine development, while summer brought slightly above-average rainfall, benefiting vegetative growth and helping soils maintain moderate water reserves throughout the growing cycle. These combined conditions led to a slightly earlier harvest than usual. Cool nights preserved the grapes’ natural acidity, yielding a well-balanced must with great aromatic complexity.

A traditional blend of white grapes from Douro region with notes of citrus, melon, and peach. Unmistakable complexity, persistent acidity and a silky, lightweight texture make this white wine a treasure for almost any occasion.

02 Our Branco Wine

Our Branco Wine Traditional Douro Winemaking in the Heart of the Valley

Our grape clusters are manually harvested into 25kg baskets before taking a short journey through the vineyard and into the Quinta’s production facility where they are de-stemmed minutes later and slowly pressed.

Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures between 12-16C for a period of roughly 30 days.
