Ahoy there, matey! Set sail on a flavorful voyage with the Invincible Douro White Wine from Número Dois. Hailing from the ruggedly beautiful Douro region of Portugal, this isn't your typical white wine – it's an adventure in a bottle!
The Douro Valley, famed for its Port wines, also crafts exceptional dry white wines, and this Invincible is a prime example. Número Dois, a winery embracing both tradition and innovation, presents a white blend showcasing the unique terroir of the region. Crafted from a field blend of traditional Douro white grapes, this wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts for maximum expressiveness. Fermentation and ageing take place in stainless steel tanks, with some contact with the fine lees to lend texture to the palate.
This wine pours a pale straw color, hinting at the refreshing experience to come. The nose bursts with aromas of ripe pear and golden apple, intertwined with delicate floral notes of acacia and a subtle hint of minerality, reflective of the schist soils of the Douro.
On the palate, Invincible Douro White Wine is crisp and dry, with a vibrant acidity that enlivens the senses. The flavors mirror the aromas, delivering a delightful combination of orchard fruits, citrus zest, and a touch of wet stone. The finish is clean, refreshing, and remarkably persistent, leaving you wanting more. It has the perfect balance of acidity and fruit, making it a wonderful partner for a variety of dishes.
Why choose Invincible? Because it's a taste of the Douro that defies expectations. It's a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Imagine it alongside grilled seafood, such as sea bass or prawns, accentuating their delicate flavors. It's equally delightful with fresh salads, creamy goat cheese, or roasted chicken. For a truly authentic Portuguese experience, try it with grilled sardines or clams 'à Bulhão Pato'.
So, raise a glass to Invincible Douro White Wine – a testament to the Douro's diversity and Número Dois' commitment to crafting exceptional wines. It's more than just a wine; it's a journey to the heart of Portugal, one sip at a time!
