Highlights
- The Blend: A refreshing, traditional Douro white blend. It typically features indigenous varieties like Viosinho, Rabigato, and Fernão Pires, accented by a touch of Moscatel Galego Branco for an aromatic, floral lift.
- Historic Legacy: Registered in 1913, Evel is one of Portugal's oldest and most trusted wine brands. For over a century, it has been synonymous with consistent, approachable, and quintessentially Douro character.
- High-Altitude Terroir: Sourced from Real Companhia Velha’s higher elevation vineyard sites. These cooler microclimates are crucial for slowing the ripening process, ensuring the grapes retain their vibrant natural acidity and delicate aromas under the warm Douro sun.
- Winemaking: Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. This modern, oxygen-free environment locks in the vibrant primary fruit flavors and ensures a crisp, pristine expression free from oak influence.
- Vintage Profile: The youthful 2025 vintage is characterized by its bright, energetic freshness and expressive, fruit-forward aromatics, meant to be enjoyed early.
Tasting Notes
Pouring a brilliant, pale lemon-green, this youthful Douro white opens with an expressive and highly inviting bouquet. Vibrant aromas of crisp green apple, zesty lemon, and white peach are beautifully lifted by delicate hints of white blossom and honeysuckle. On the palate, it is medium-light, clean, and immediately refreshing. A lively, zesty acidity cuts through the generous core of orchard and citrus fruit, leading to a crisp, mouthwatering finish that leaves the palate revitalized.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve well-chilled at 46-50°F (8-10°C) in a standard white wine glass to maximize its crisp, zesty qualities.
- Decanting: Pop and pour; no decanting is necessary. An exceptional, everyday aperitif that pairs effortlessly with grilled white fish, fresh summer salads, light seafood pasta, or a spread of soft goat cheeses.
