Douro

Castello D’Alba

Origin: grapes from vines planted in the Douro Superior, with an average altitude of 400 meters usually planted in terraces with predominant exposure South. We look for a selection of grapes that will allow us to obtain a more aromatic and fresh wine, medium weight, gourmet character and representing the terroir of the Douro Superior, with its very elegant notes of rock rose and black fruit and spices. Vinification: hand-picked grapes. Reception with full destemming and immediately crushed. Fermentation in stainless steel vats with small capacity, with temperatures around 24º C. Controlled and smooth macerations in order to get elegant and aromatic wines. Ageing: partially matured in French and American oak for a period of 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.
