Vale Da Raposa Branco
In the late 1980s, the Alves de Sousa family acquired Quinta do Vale da Raposa, spanning approximately 18 hectares. Their debut in producing DOC Douro wines in 1992 was met with immediate acclaim and garnered excellent reviews. For instance, it earned a coveted spot on the renowned British journalist Oz Clarke's list of the "30 Best Buys Worldwide." Since then, Quinta do Vale da Raposa has continuously excelled in its winemaking endeavors. This release is a wonderfully bright and citric wine with a very fine and expressive bouquet, with hints of grapefruit, lime, grass, and a very fine toast.
