O Produtor, tasting note published in February 23rd 2022

Great aromatic purity, complex with a mineral character, exotic fruits, citrus, and white field flowers, characteristic of the grape varieties from which it originates. On the palate, the notes of the aroma come through in an intense and creamy ensemble, with volume and freshness, very long-lasting.

Castello d'Alba

Based in the Upper Douro, Castello d’Alba was the first wine I launched nearly 20 years ago. Today, it is a benchmark brand in the Douro, found in the finest restaurants, hotels, and wine shops.” – Rui Roboredo Madeira

Origin: Grapes come from non-irrigated vineyards in the Upper Douro, cultivated using organic farming methods. The vines are exclusively planted with grape varieties perfectly adapted to the climate and soils of the region, allowing for sustainable viticulture with minimal intervention and in balance with the region’s ecosystem.

Vinification and Ageing: Manual harvest in small perforated crates of 15 kg, whole bunches without destemming, using very gentle crushing and pressing processes. Great effort is made to ensure that all pre-fermentation operations are carried out with the utmost care to interfere as little as possible with the intrinsic quality of the grapes. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Ageing on fine lees in stainless steel tanks for 3 months.

Rui Roboredo Madeira Vinhos

In one of the most remote areas of the Iberian Peninsula, on the border between the Douro Superior and Beira Alta regions, it was among family that its passion grew for the aromas and smells of this land that shapes our character.
After coming into contact with many cultures of living and making wine, in various parts of the globe, Rui Madeira returned to the great Douro valley convinced that they have the potential to make the best wines in the world.
 Out of respect for nature, due to the way we cultivate their vineyards and wines reflect his experiences, which smell and taste of land, of schist, damp granite, rock rose, wild flowers and fruit. 
It is in the winery that he makes wines with the character of our ‘terroir’, expressed through native grape varieties, which instil with a style of their own and an international profile.
