The 2023 Altano Bianco DOC Douro is a fresh and vibrant Portuguese white wine from the Douro Valley, crafted from a blend of native varieties including Malvasia Fina, Viosinho, Moscatel Galego and Arinto. Produced from higher-altitude vineyards, it reflects a clean, aromatic style focused on freshness and balance. The nose is bright and expressive, showing citrus, green apple and tropical fruits like lychee and passion fruit, with subtle floral and herbal notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a lively, refreshing texture. Zesty citrus and orchard fruit flavours lead to a clean, vibrant and easy-drinking finish. The style is unoaked, youthful and highly approachable, ideal for everyday enjoyment.
