The Blend: It features a mix of traditional, indigenous Portuguese white grape varieties, heavily driven by Viosinho (35%), Malvasia Fina (30%), and Moscatel Galego (20%), along with smaller portions of Arinto, Rabigato, and Gouveio.
The 2024 Altano Branco features a highly aromatic and fresh nose, displaying dominant scents of citrus blossom, wild flowers, green apple, peach, and tropical notes like lychee and papaya. On the palate, this crisp, light-to-medium-bodied white wine is bone-dry, balancing zesty lime and lemon characteristics with an appealing tropical fruit juiciness, such as pineapple, before finishing with a clean, refreshing mineral streak. Thanks to this lively acidity, the vintage serves as an excellent aperitif and pairs naturally with fresh seafood, grilled fish, Mediterranean salads, light pasta dishes, and grilled chicken or turkey.
