Porta Celeirós D’Oiro Great Reserve White 2021 is a very special wine for us, representing one of the highest categories in our range.

It is made from a blend of Viosinho, Rabigato and Fernão Pires. The grapes come from young vineyards located in the Cima Corgo sub-region of the Douro Valley.

The grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible in small buckets, ensuring they remain intact and avoiding premature crushing before pressing. Dry ice is also used to protect the grapes from unwanted oxidation.

Fermentation takes place under carefully controlled temperatures, followed by six months of aging in new and used French oak barrels. During this period, the wine undergoes bâtonnage, gently stirring the fine lees to enhance its aromatic complexity, texture and structure.

On the nose, it reveals mineral notes alongside ripe grapefruit and subtle hints of oak. On the palate, it is fresh, elegant and fruit-driven, with a refined texture and a long, persistent finish.
