Description
Fresh and elegant, Casa da Passarella A Descoberta Branco brings together Encruzado, Malvasia Fina and Verdelho in a vibrant blend. Citrus, pear and green apple aromas lift from the glass, while the palate is crisp and textured with notes of lemon zest and subtle minerality. Lees ageing in concrete tanks adds depth and a longer, refreshing finish, making this an ideal Portuguese white for seafood or summer evenings.
Based in the heart of the Dão, Casa da Passarella has been producing wine since the late 19th century and is celebrated for championing indigenous grapes. The estate combines traditional winemaking with modern techniques, fermenting in stainless steel before ageing on fine lees to build complexity. The granite-rich soils and high-altitude vineyards lend natural freshness and balance, qualities that define the region’s whites. With its focus on authenticity and terroir, Casa da Passarella continues to show why Dão is one of Portugal’s most exciting regions for elegant, food-friendly wines.
