2024 Wine & Soul "Manoella" Branco, Douro, Portugal

ABOUT THIS WINE

Produced from a blend of traditional Douro white varieties, including Gouveio, Viosinho, Rabigato, and Códega do Larinho, "Manoella" Branco is sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the Cima Corgo subregion. The cooler growing conditions help preserve freshness and aromatic complexity, while the schist-rich soils contribute structure and mineral character. Fermented primarily in stainless steel with careful lees aging, the 2024 vintage balances purity of fruit with texture and precision, showcasing the increasingly acclaimed white wines of the Douro.
