Vale D. Maria
Vinha de Martim
White
In the search for the best terroir in the Douro for white wines, a true treasure was found in the Vinha de Martim, a high-altitude vineyard facing north. This is a small, old vineyard over 80 years old, quite rare for white wines in the Douro, and it holds something truly special: a blend of grape varieties that is a treasure of decades of viticulture in the region. A white wine that stands alongside the best white wines in the world.
Vinha de Martim
White
Distinctive in color and aromatic character, it presents a blend of aromas ranging from herbal to citrus, with hints of sweeter fruit, all enveloped in notes of vanilla and spices. On the palate, it shows complexity and a pleasant freshness, both engaging and flavorful. The Vale D. Maria Vinha de Martim announces itself with subtlety, but its complexity develops over time, leading to a long and surprising finish, with elegant persistence. This is a wine that deserves to be savored with time or cellared for a few years, allowing it to reveal new aromas and evolve, transforming both itself and the experiences it offers to those who taste it.
