Passa Pequena Branco 2012 – Douro White That Earned Its Stripes

Tasting Notes

This isn’t granny’s old white—this is Douro altitude and organic roots flexed in glass. Dive into ripe citrus, green apple, and a clean mineral undercurrent. The palate’s crisp and medium-bodied, with pleasantly persistent acidity and a whisper of orange peel on the finish. It’s elegant, balanced, and still fresh for a 2012 vintage.

Meet the Winemaker

Quinta do Passadouro—long rehabbing Douro’s old-school cred with modern magic. The Branco Passa Pequena was made using Rabigato and Códega de Larinho, harvested from Douro slopes where Port often steals the spotlight. Small-scale, organic farming; rational terroir first, marketing second.
