TPDVM00224 Quinta do Vale Meao Meandro 2024 White

Meandro Branco is an elegant expression of white Douro terroir, where purity, tension, and finesse take center stage. Sourced from the iconic vineyards of Quinta do Vale Meão, this wine translates the warm Douro landscape into a refreshingly precise and mineral style. In the glass, the wine displays a bright straw yellow color with greenish reflections. The nose is clean and expressive, with aromas of citrus fruit, white peach, and ripe apple, complemented by floral notes and a fine minerality. Subtle hints of wet stone and wild herbs add complexity. On the palate, Meandro Branco is fresh and lively, with a beautiful tension between fruit and acidity. The wine has a taut, elegant texture, a refined body, and a surprisingly long, mineral finish.
 
Meandro Branco is a wine of subtlety and structure, perfectly suited to contemporary gastronomy and an ideal companion for dishes where purity and precision are paramount.

Excellent with grilled fish, shellfish, light poultry dishes, delicate salads, or Mediterranean cuisine. Also particularly pleasant as an aperitif.
  
Grapes: Arinto & Rabigato
After light crushing, the must is transferred to small, temperature-controlled vinification vats. The grape varieties are vinified separately. The wine is aged on the lees for seven months.

In terms of historical figures, the 2024 growing season can be considered moderately warm, with slightly above-average rainfall. The winter was very wet, particularly March, which was marked by heavy rainfall. Although the summer was hot and dry, the end of August and September, the harvest period, were very cool. Disease pressure remained low throughout the growing cycle, which was the longest since 2014, with early budding and colouring at the usual time. These moderate conditions, combined with good water reserves in the soil, resulted in above-average yields and favoured very balanced ripening, with excellent harmony between sugars, acids and tannins. The harvest was extensive: it began on 21 August with the Rabigato grape variety and ended on 4 October.
