Casa Ferreirinha Papa Figos Douro Branco 2024
The Papa Figos Branco is lemon yellow in colour with golden hints. The nose has complex aromas with predominant notes of white stone and tropical fruit, with hints of citrus, flowers and a touch of minerality. On the palate, it has a refreshing acidity and notes of fresh pear. The finish is long and elegant.

The grapes for Papa Figos Branco are picked from carefully selected sites in the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior at around 600 metres above sea level. The mountainous vineyards have schist soils with vines planted either in "vinha ao alto" vertical rows or on "patamares" terraces. Grapes grown at this altitude benefit from a wide diurnal temperature range, with hot days counteracted by cool nights, and the grapes undergo an ideal slow ripening process, accumulating great flavour intensity whilst retaining acidity.
After crushing and destemming, the grapes were gently pressed and the must was then settled and racked off its gross lees. Fermentation took place at controlled temperatures between 16-18ºC and lasted for around 20 days. The wine was matured in stainless steel for five months to preserve its bright fruit character, before undergoing careful fining and filtration prior to bottling.
