O Produtor, tasting note published in May 16th 2024

Côtto Branco is a remarkable example of the Douro’s potential for producing white wines that combine freshness and complexity, faithfully reflecting the region’s unique terroir. With a citrus hue, this wine reveals subtle elegance on the nose, where delicate citrus fruit notes blend with hints of graphite. On the palate, its aromatic finesse is confirmed, with citrus and mineral notes unfolding in layers of complexity. The wine’s vibrant freshness provides perfect balance, leading to a long and incredibly pleasant finish.
