the 1,800-feet high vineyards perched on scary-steep slopes in the upper douro give the wine the cool character it needs. winemaker francisco olazabal, a direct descendant of the douro's dona antonia ferreira, nurtures this unusual white wine (most douro is red). it's perfumed, fruity and fresh. acidity, tangy lemon and pineappletake center stage along with a steely inner core. drink now.
