Quinta de La Rosa Cerejinha Branco 2021

Terroir: Despite being a very old region, the Douro still has, thanks to its large size and enormous diversity of terroirs, much to be explored. Quinta de La Rosa is a good example of this diversity, with vines from around 100m high, next to the river in the imposing Vale do Inferno, to 500 meters in altitude in the Lamelas vineyard. We also have several east, north and south sun exposures and a great diversity of grape varieties. Always with a privileged view of the Douro River, all the Quinta's grapes are letter A – the best the region has to offer. The poor and shale soils, combined with a very varied topography, favor full-bodied wines with excellent levels of minerality, acidity and freshness. This combination of complexity and power, which is achieved when we have good maturation, and the elegance and freshness so characteristic of our Quinta, have made our wines famous. Our wines are elegant in expressing their terroir without exaggerating maturation, extraction, tannin or wood. La Rosa's whites are characterized by floral and citrus notes, with a good balance of fruit.

Grape Varieties: 60% Alvarinho and 40% Arinto.
