Graínha 2009

16.5 / 20
Producer: Quinta Nova de Nossa Sra do Carmo
Region: Douro
Country: Portugal







Mid range white from a good Douro producer, this white wine has a nice balanced bouquet where the dominant tropical fruit scent is backed up by some discreet toast and oak notes.


The taste reveals a nicely structured wine, with the fruit being helped along by a creamy, fuller backbone. Good acidity rounds up a complex, full body. If it was a bit more persistent it would definitely be a very good white from the Douro.
