Domingos Alves de Sousa
Douro Reserva Pessoal Branco Gouveio Blend
Douro, Portugal
2005 Alves de Sousa Reserva Pessoal Branco
Made in an oxidized style, the color is a deep gold and the nose reveals notes of saline, almonds, ginger and sweet bread dough. This reminds me of a denser white Rioja, ala Lopez de Heredia. The palate adds some licorice, white plum and a toasty finish from the oak. Good acidity, 12.5% abv., medium+ length. Grape Varieties - Gouveio, Malvasia Fina, Viosinho and other old varieties from the Douro
