Quinta da Mariposa Dao Branco 2023

A fresh, expressive white from Portugal’s Dão region, made from a traditional blend of indigenous grapes grown in granitic soils at altitude. The vineyards benefit from cool nights and a continental climate, helping preserve natural acidity and aromatic precision.

The wine is vinified with a focus on purity, typically fermented in stainless steel to highlight its bright, fruit-driven character without the influence of oak. This approach emphasizes clarity and freshness rather than weight or texture-building winemaking.

It shows a clean, vibrant profile shaped by citrus, green apple, and subtle white floral notes, with a mineral backbone that reflects the region’s granite terroir. Light, crisp, and balanced, it is designed to be enjoyed young while expressing the lifted, elegant style typical of Dão whites.
