Quinta Vale Dona Maria Rufo 2019 Branco
Rufo was born after a conversation with friends after a dinner, while discussing how to improve agricultural practices towards the environment and increase the population of Alectoris rufa to Vale D. Maria (Alectoris rufa being the scientific name of the Red-legged Partridge) . They agreed that the word Rufo, which means red in Latin, would be a good name for a red Douro wine. But Rufo in Portuguese also means drum sound. When designing the label, the drum quickly became the symbol of this new Vale D. Maria wine.
White blossom, lemon, pine needles, ginger and orange peel are all on the nose with juicy white fruits on the palate along with a hint of marmalade; a very appealing white wine
