Bravo Douro Branco

Winemaker Quevedo on the winery

“We are a family-owned winery with five generations of experience in the Douro Valley. We work with great respect for nature and the character of our region, from our vineyards to our cellar. We combine traditional knowledge with modern techniques to create wines that showcase the diversity of the Douro. For us, everything begins in the vineyard: healthy grapes, careful attention to the soil and harvesting at the right moment are the foundations of wines with a distinct identity.”

And on Douro, Portugal

“Our Bravo Branco comes from Quinta da Trovisca, at an altitude of 450 to 500 metres in the Douro Valley. The stony schist soils and elevation help preserve freshness and minerality in Portugal’s warm climate. We use Rabigato, Arinto and Gouveio, each bringing something different: citrus fruit, lively acidity and ripe stone fruit. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless-steel tanks. The wine then spends six months ageing on fine lees with regular bâtonnage (stirring of the lees), adding texture. The result is a fresh, vibrant white wine with lime, juicy peach and a subtle mineral edge.”
