O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2018

The Vale D. Maria RUFO Douro White has an aromatic nose, with notes of lime, lemon and a marked minerailty from the Arinto grape. The Rabigato grape variety has soft aromatic notes and good acidity, whilst Cédega do Larinho has exuberant tropical fruit aromas and more body. The balance between these three grape varieties makes Vale D. Maria RUFO Douro White a citric wine in the nose, soft and very fresh in the mouth.
