Description

chevron-down

The 2023 Monte Meão Branco is a brand new white wine from older vines on the estate and produced with 70% Arinto and 30% Rabigato, fermented and aged in barrels. It has nicely integrated oak and a round palate with a very good balance. It is clean, serious and has some austerity and a very good freshness, finesse and length. It finishes dry, with a chalky and tasty feeling.

In the eastern part of the Douro, near the Spanish border, we find Quinta do Vale Meão, birthplace of Barca Velha, the most famous and highly praised Douro. The quinta is owned by Francisco Javier de Olazabal, the great-great-grandson of Dona Antonia Ferreira who bought the quinta in 1877. The former director of the Ferreira port house started making wine from this exceptional terroir in 1998 with his son, oenologist Xito (Francisco) Olazabal. Their first wine, Meao 1999, was immediately declared the best Portuguese wine of 1999. It is the most famous quinta in Portugal and is also part of the famous Douro Boys. All the wines they make now guarantee an authentic experience of the Douro wines, of course made from the typical Portuguese grape varieties from the Douro region. Quinta do Vale Meão is one of the best in Portugal and you can taste why!
