Still largely unexplored, the terroir in the Douro offers incredible opportunity. None more so than La Rosa’s, whose vines rise dramatically out of the river with the imposing Vale do Inferno vineyard, and climb steadily upwards to top out at 5oom with Lamelas, whose magnificent views overlook the very heart of the region. The estate’s grapes are category A – the very best the Douro has to offer.

La Rosa Branco is beautifully balanced, perfect for the summer, fresh and floral, balancing peach and anise beautifully. On the palate it has good structure and defined acidity making it a wonderful wine to share.
