Quinta da Pedra Alta Branco Reserva, Douro 2023
The Douro Valley is famous for Port but its still wines are among Portugal’s most exciting and characterful offerings. Quinta da Pedra Alta’s Reserva Branco is a brilliant example. Sourced from the estate’s highest vineyards, this barrel-fermented white shows that the Douro can produce wines of depth and vibrancy. The challenging 2023 vintage saw a moderate summer encourage slow, steady ripening and careful vineyard management ensured only the best fruit was pressed. The nose is seductive and expressive, brimming with citrus fruits, pear, and toasty nectarine, alongside a delicate nuttiness from barrel ageing. The palate is where this wine truly shines; long, textured, and beautifully balanced, with layers of citrus, stone fruit, and tropical notes, all underpinned by lively acidity and a savoury complexity. This is a serious Douro white drinking beautifully now, though it will evolve gracefully over the next few years. Consider decanting to bring out its full character and for the perfect pairing, serve with salt-baked sea bass (peixe ao sal), grilled seafood, saffron and citrus-infused risotto or roast chicken. A versatile, world-class white wine.
