Quinta do Cidrô Gewurztraminer Branco 2021

The Quinta de Cidrô Gewurztraminer is an extremely original wine that differentiates completly from any style of white wine in Portugal. It is an excellent demonstration of how the Douro’s character can influence even the most striking grape varieties, in which this Gewurztraminer is completely transformed by our region.
