Altano, Douro Reserva White, 2021 6x75cl

Altano Branco (White) Reserva is a blend of essentially three grape varieties grown in the Douro Valley - Viosinho, Gouveio and Rabigato - none particularly well known outside Portugal but the combination is sensational.

Altano is a brand owned by the world-famous Symington family who own six major Port Houses including Dow's, Grahams, and Warres under their company name, Symington Family Estates. They are now the largest vineyard owner in the Douro Valley with nearly 1,000 hectares split between 26 vineyards

This white wine is something that I tuck into when Burgundy prices are feeling too extravagant...
