Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium acidity, dry
A dry, medium-bodied Douro white blending Viosinho, Gouveio and Rabigato, grapes traditionally used for port that here give a fresh, textured table wine. Expect stone fruit and citrus notes with a mineral, almost saline edge, some floral lift, and a rounded finish from time on lees or light oak. Alves de Sousa's Vale da Raposa line is reliable and food-friendly, meant to be enjoyed young rather than cellared.
