✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Dos Lusiadas is a project born from the curiosity of legendary Rhone producer Michel Chapoutier, who was captivated by the dramatic schist and granite terroirs of Portugal's Douro Valley. Named in honor of the epic poem by Luis de Camoes celebrating the Portuguese Age of Discovery, this wine represents a modern exploration of the region's white wine potential. The Pinteivera Branco is crafted primarily from indigenous grape varieties like Rabigato and Viosinho, sourced from high-altitude vineyards that preserve vital acidity. Fermented and aged with careful lees contact, the wine beautifully balances the intense minerality of the Douro's soils with a vibrant, textured palate of citrus and stone fruits.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
M. Chapoutier blev grundlagt i 1808 i Tain-l'Hermitage i Rhônedalen og har siden udviklet sig til et af Frankrigs mest berømte vinhuse. Husets internationale stjernestatus tog for alvor fart, da Michel Chapoutier overtog roret i 1990 med sin kompromisløse vision. Som pioner inden for biodynamisk vindyrkning og minimal intervention i vinkælderen er ejendommen særligt hyldet for sine enkeltmarks-aftapninger, 'sélections parcellaires', der formidler de fineste terroiregenskaber på tværs af Rhône og andre vinregioner. Chapoutier, der siden 1996 ikonisk har haft punktskrift (blindeskrift) på alle etiketter, skaber referencepunkter for druer som Syrah, Marsanne og Grenache i prestigiøse appellationer som Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie og Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
