Donzelinho branco
Donzelinho branco is a white grape variety that is indigenous to Portugal. It is primarily used in the production of white wine and is known for its high acidity and aromatic qualities.
History[edit | edit source]
The origins of Donzelinho branco are not well-documented, but it is believed to have been cultivated in Portugal for centuries. It is primarily grown in the Douro and Minho regions of the country.
Viticulture[edit | edit source]
Donzelinho branco is a late-ripening grape that requires a long growing season to fully develop its flavors. It is resistant to most diseases and pests, making it a reliable choice for growers. However, it is sensitive to extreme weather conditions and requires careful management to ensure a successful harvest.
Wine Production[edit | edit source]
Donzelinho branco is often used in the production of Vinho Verde, a young, fresh white wine that is popular in Portugal. It is also used in the production of Port wine, where it adds acidity and aromatic complexity to the blend.
Taste Profile[edit | edit source]
Wines made from Donzelinho branco are typically high in acidity and have a fresh, fruity character. They often exhibit flavors of green apple, pear, and citrus, with floral and mineral notes.
Food Pairing[edit | edit source]
Due to its high acidity and fresh flavor profile, Donzelinho branco pairs well with a variety of foods. It is particularly well-suited to seafood dishes, such as grilled fish and shellfish. It also pairs well with light poultry dishes and salads.
