Current Vintage: 2023

The Dao region of Portugal was once a star wine area in Europe in the 19th century. Like Spain, Portugal’s wine history fell on tough times through the Salazar dictatorship era when the production of serious wine was cut way back. A few old, traditional-styled producers in the Dao continued to cultivate grapes and make wine into the 1970s and many of those wines are still going strong. Today, the Dao region is in a period of refocus and reinvigoration, and one of the most influential characters of this rebirth is Antonio Madeira.
The white 2023 Branco was produced with grapes purchased from local growers, fermented with indigenous yeasts and full malolactic and aged in used barrels for one year, then blended and kept in stainless steel for one more year. It displays a bright yellow color and an expressive nose of yellow and white fruit and flowers, some herbs and spices.
