Passagem is a beautiful 100-hectare estate nestled along the serene riverside banks of the Douro Superior, a renowned sub-region celebrated for making some of Portugal’s best wines. The estate derives its name from an abandoned mountain railway line that runs through its grounds. Owned by the Bergqvist Family, descendants of the Feueheerds, with a legacy in Port production since 1815, Passagem is a joint-venture with acclaimed winemaker Jorge Moreira, twice awarded Portugal's Best Winemaker.
From North-West facing vines, around 500m above sea level, the estate grown grapes are carefully selected and hand-picked. Pressing and then the juice is moved to stainless steel tank for fermentation using selected yeasts. Once fermentation is over, the wine in moved to used French barriques to mature for six months, four of which are on the lees.
The Passagem Branco is defined by freshness and minerality, it’s well balanced with great structure. Delightful notes of white fruit and orange blossom on the nose, which follow through to the palate, marked by good acidity and a long finish.
Serve with lightly spiced grilled meats
