Tasting Note:
The 2022 Rabigato from Quinta do Infantado is a crisp, mineral-driven Douro white that emphasizes freshness and purity. Aromas of citrus blossom, lemon zest, and green apple are joined by herbal notes and a distinct stony edge. The palate is bright and linear, with taut acidity and a clean, saline finish that reflects the high-altitude schist soils. Refreshing yet textural, this is a vibrant expression of one of Portugal’s great native white grapes.
