Symington Family Estates Altano Douro White wine is a delightful Portuguese offering, elegantly harmonising a soft, luscious texture and vibrant acidity. It delivers a dazzling bouquet of apricots, sharp green apples, and floral notes, underlined with invigorating citrus zest. Upon tasting, the well-balanced minerality treats one to a refreshingly crisp, yet fruity palate of ripe peaches and toasted almonds. This wine’s light straw hue, meandering towards green, complemented by a lingering finish, makes it a charming companion for seafood or as an aperitif on summer evenings. It brings a vibrant touch of the Douro Valley's sun-soaked slopes to any occasion.

Tasting Notes
