O Produtor, tasting note published in July 8th 2023

This white wine is complex, but its structure does not come from the use of barrels; instead, it stems from a unique blend crafted in stainless steel tanks with some skin maceration and bâtonnage. The freshness of Avesso perfectly complements the richness of Chardonnay and other international grape varieties to create this fascinating white wine.

Covela

Quinta de Covela practices organic farming on granite soils that form a natural amphitheater facing south. The landscape consists of terraces planted at low altitudes on the right bank of the Douro River, in the southern part of the Vinho Verde region (Minho).
Cold winters and hot, dry summers – at the crossroads between the continental climate of the Douro Valley and the maritime influence of the Douro Litoral. Harvests are organized by vineyard plots to ensure grapes are picked at their optimal moment.
Covela Branco, formerly known as Escolha Branco, is perhaps the iconic white wine of Covela. It is a blend full of character, with Avesso (the main grape variety of the Baião sub-region and Covela) as its foundation, Chardonnay, and a few other “seasonings” selected by winemaker Rui Cunha, who has been part of the Covela project since 1990.
