Ello d’Alba Douro Branco is a fresh and expressive white wine from Portugal’s Douro Valley, a region better known for its powerful Ports but increasingly admired for its elegant dry whites. Crafted from a blend of native Portuguese varieties such as Rabigato, Viosinho, and Gouveio, the wine reflects the schist-rich soils and steep river valley terraces that give Douro whites their distinctive character. In the glass, it shows a pale straw-yellow hue with green highlights, signaling its crisp vibrancy.

The nose opens with lifted aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, intertwined with floral notes of orange blossom and subtle hints of fresh herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet lively, delivering flavors of lemon, pear, and stone fruit layered with saline minerality and a faint touch of almond. The texture is sleek, with bright acidity cutting through to create a refreshing and mouthwatering finish that lingers with citrus and stony nuances.

Produced with modern winemaking techniques that emphasize temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, Ello d’Alba Douro Branco preserves the purity of its fruit and the freshness of its aromatic profile. This style highlights the Douro’s growing reputation for crisp, mineral-driven whites that balance tradition with contemporary appeal. Ideal pairings include grilled fish, fresh seafood, summer salads, and soft goat cheese, though its refreshing style also makes it an excellent aperitif.
