Waar serveer je ’m bij?
From the Douro Superior, the hottest and driest part of the valley, and yet a wine that floats on acidity: Arinto and Rabigato are the two varieties that hold on to their freshness there, and that is exactly why Vale Meão chooses them. Our technical sheets list no vinification for this cuvée — what we do know is what this house does everywhere: gentle pressing, cool fermentation, and no oak where it adds nothing. Weight ten with complexity ten, and a salty length that is typical of the Douro Superior.
