Description

In 2001, Sandra Tavares da Silva (Quinta do Vale D. Maria and Quinta de Chocapalha) and her husband Jorge Borges (then Niepoort, now Passadouro) started realizing their dream. They bought a vineyard of very old vines of 2 hectares in Vale de Mendiz next to Noval. The annual harvest is 4000 bottles and 100 Magnums. From the first harvest, they have become among the icons of the Douro and are praised nationally and internationally for the charm and character of their wines that represent the unique terroir of the Douro region.

The Guru comes from the DOC Douro (Cima Corgo) from 50 year old vines in the PinhĂŁo Valley. This branco is made from the typical grape varieties Gouveio, Viosinho, Rabigato and CĂłdega do Larinho. The Gouveio is the Portuguese name of the famous Spanish Godello grape. The wine is aged for 8 months in mainly used French oak barrels. On the palate the Guru is dry, lush, complex with stone fruit, lime, grapefruit, light roast notes and hint of vanilla. Wonderfully mineral with a pleasant bitterness, very pleasant refined acidity and a long finish. This fantastic white Portuguese wine has enormous storage potential and is a perfect accompaniment to grilled (oily) fish, shellfish and poultry.
