White Port, Quinta do Vallado Wine Republic

White Port, Quinta do Vallado

Duoro, Portugal

Citrus Gold

This is white Port with brightness, perfume and a lovely lift. Made from 80% Moscatel Galego (Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains) and 20% mixed white varieties, it opens with orange blossom, lemon peel, white peach and apricot, followed by crystallised orange, honeyed citrus and a gentle floral note. It is sweet, but fresh rather than heavy, with the Moscatel bringing fragrance and charm.

The palate is smooth, rounded and finely balanced, with candied orange, citrus peel, ripe stone fruit and a long, delicate finish. Three years in stainless steel keep the style clean and fruit-led, rather than nutty or oxidative. Serve it well chilled as an aperitif, with dessert, or as a white Port and tonic with plenty of ice, good tonic and a slice of orange.

For when you want something sweet, bright and properly Portuguese.
Pairs with salted almonds, blue cheese, hard cheeses, orange tart, custard desserts, fruit cake, or a sunny Port and tonic.
If this wine were… a colour, it would be polished gold with a twist of orange peel.

Quinta do Vallado is one of the Douro Valley’s historic estates, established in 1716 near Peso da Régua and once part of the Ferreira family story. For nearly two centuries, Vallado produced Port for Casa Ferreira before building its own identity around both Port and Douro table wines. Today, the estate combines deep Douro heritage with a modern, precise approach, and this White Port shows that balance beautifully: fragrant Moscatel-led fruit, free-run fermentation, three years in stainless steel and a fresh, citrus-led style.

This wine is made from predominantly Moscatel Galego Branco, which is a synonym for Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, recognised as an elegant and fragrant variety with delicate complexity.

Quinta do Vallado was established in 1716 and is one of the oldest and most famous estates in the Douro Valley. It is located on the banks of the River Corgo, a tributary of the River Douro, near the town of Peso da Régua. It was once the property of the legendary Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira and remains in the possession of her descendants João and Fransicsco to this day. For nearly 200 years, Quinta do Vallado produced fine Port marketed by the family business Casa Ferreira. During the early 1990s, Quinta do Vallado diversified and alongside their top-quality single estate Ports, it started producing dry red, white and rosé wines under its own brand. Simultaneously, the team began restructuring the vineyards, planting single varietal plots, breaking the tradition of multiple varieties being co-planted. Today, the Quinta has 10 hectares of old, low yielding vines planted between 1920s and 1950s, 55 hectares planted during the 1990s and following the acquisition of Quinta do Orgal in Douro Superior, 35 hectares of organic vineyard.

A 'bica aberta', free flow fermentation took place without skin contact, using Quinta do Vallado inoculated yeasts. Vinification took place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and lasted for around 20 days. Once the desired level of Baumé was reached, the grape brandy, known as the 'Benefit' was added, resulting in a naturally sweet wine. The wine spent three years maturing in stainless steel tanks.
