DESCRIPTION
Two longtime friends, passionate winemakers, decided to work together to create two authentic terroir wines in their Douro region. This collaboration gave birth to Pingolé, a sincere expression of an exceptional terroir.
Crafted from a blend of Rabigato (60%), Arinto (20%) and Viosinho (20%) grown at 600 meters altitude in the Murça region, this Douro white expresses the full freshness of high elevations. Hand-harvested and aged 15 months in French oak barrels on fine lees, it reveals refined elegance with citrus notes, white flowers and textured minerality. The long finish showcases the complexity brought by altitude and the unique terroir of Santa Marta de Penaguião.
Region
Douro
Portugal
The Douro Valley is one of the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world. Located in northern Portugal, it is renowned for its spectacular terraced vineyards. This unique terroir produces powerful, concentrated red wines as well as the famous Port wine. The hot, dry climate combined with schist soils creates ideal conditions for high-quality viticulture. Native grape varieties like Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca fully express their complexity here. The Douro is a must-visit for any wine lover seeking authenticity and bold, intense flavors.
Recommended for you:
The altitude of Murça and the soils of Santa Marta create a Douro white of rare finesse. Natural freshness combines with oak complexity for a wine that will age beautifully in the cellar.
