The range of aromas combine subtle vanilla notes with attractive citrus scents of lime and lemon. On the palate the well-defined acidity provides great balance to the creamily textured and well-structured wine. White plum and apricot flavours are complemented by hints of white pepper. With some bottle age, the wine will gain greater complexity and elegance.
The principal component variety of the Altano Reserva White is the Viosinho, widely regarded as one of the Douro Valley’s finest indigenous white grape varieties. The Viosinho grapes are entirely sourced from a Symington family owned vineyard in Provesende at an altitude range of 500 to 600 metres. Other important components are the Códega do Larinho, Rabigato and Gouveio varieties, also sourced from high altitude vineyards from the Murça and Alijó areas. We are able to conserve the necessary acidity, from the points of origin, essential for barrelfermented wines, which are left on the lees until bottling.
