Quinta da Raza. Raza Branco

Pale straw in colour with golden hues. The bouquet shows delicious citrus fruit and a little spice, subtle suggestions of pineapple and lychee and a hint of banana. Well integrated, it is just detectable with a discreet hint of vanilla. The palate is balanced with green apple and soft grapefruit undertones denoting fine, crisp vibrant acidity on the finish.

With a history that goes back more than four centuries, there are many memories that have crossed generations of the Teixeira Coelho family, who continue to have the same passion and dedication. With a favoured location within the Minho Region, it has a microclimate influenced by the river Tâmega and the Serra do Marão, which intersect the Atlantic winds. Raza’s vineyards grow here with the care and conditions that this unique region so generously offers. Quinta da Raza aims for a natural balance with the surrounding natural environment, preserving biodiversity and promoting this symbiosis, which is reflected in an integrated environmental production system. With tradition and innovation going hand-in-hand, Quinta da Raza wines preserve traditional techniques such as hand picking, treading red grapes in centuries-old stone tanks and cross-generational knowledge of the production of these unique and delicate wines.
