Lavradores de Feitoria Branco Douro, young, fruity, expressive Portuguese white. This is a great little wine from a Co-Operative winery in the Douro (picked out by Decanter as one of the wineries to watch!), made for everyday drinking. The white is a lovely blend made from Malvasia and Siria, seeing no oak over its production. It's fresh and expressive with flavours of citrus and watermelon. Great value!
Lavradores de Feitoria is a unique project, created on September of 2000. Resulted from the union of 15 producers, owners of 18 Quintas spread throughout the best terroirs in the 3 sub-regions of the Douro region (Baixo Corgo, Cima Corgo and Douro Superior). Nowadays the company has 48 shareholders (of which 15 are producers), and 19 Quintas. Together, they have a total area of vineyard of more than 600 ha, allowing them to create wines of great quality, expressing the best of the terroirs and altitudes available.
