Words from the winemakers:

Odile’s tasting notes are simply put: “A gastronomic white with great acidity, salinity and texture”. Son Paolo chimes in: “vertical, acid-driven, viscous, limey and fresh”.

Grapes - 75% Folgasão and 25% Viosinho (merge the two, and you get "Folgasinho")

Terroir - Fora do Tedo is made with purchased grapes, hence the name which translates to “Outside of Tedo”. Our estate vineyards' lower-elevation and warmer climate sites with more schist soils are well adapted for red grapes to make rosé and red Douro DOC Wines and Portos, but white grapes express best in higher-elevatiom cooler climate sites, with more granitic soils.

Annual production - 1.050 bottles

Alcohol - 12,5%
