Seara d'Ordens Altitude White 2020

The Seara d'Ordens Altitude Branco 2020 is a heartfelt tribute to João Leite Moreira, an essential figure at Quinta Seara d'Ordens, whose vision and innovative spirit indelibly marked the legacy of this Douro-based house.

Made from a blend of traditional Douro grape varieties grown in high-altitude areas, this white wine elegantly expresses the unique identity of its terroir. In the glass, it reveals a bright yellow colour, with golden nuances that announce maturity and structure.

On the nose, it is intense and captivating, with well-marked mineral notes, accompanied by hints of white-fleshed fruits, delicate florals and light citrus notes. The aromatic complexity is underlined by touches of wet stone and fine herbs, giving it an austere and elegant dimension.

In the mouth, it stands out for its freshness and depth. The lively acidity balances the wine's structure, while the tannins, rare but present, appear velvety and persistent, giving it an unusual texture for a white wine. The finish is long, mineral and full of character, faithfully reflecting the high-altitude origin and careful maturation of the grapes.

This is a wine with great potential for evolution, with the potential to age for 10 to 20 years, during which time it is expected to develop additional layers of complexity and sophistication. A Douro white wine with a serious and distinctive profile, designed to surprise both now and in the future.
