Viosinho Dozelino Branco

Viosinho Dozelino Branco

The Viosinho Dozelino Branco grape is an indigenous Portuguese grape varietal, chiefly grown and prevalent in the sub-regions of Douro and Trás-os-Montes in Portugal. They carry a reputation for helping in the production of highly distinctive and instantly recognisable wines, known for their versatile and flexible characteristics, applied to the area’s current winemaking inclinations.

Characterised by compact and small-sized berries, the Viosinho Dozelino Branco grape is esteemed for its inherent resilience to challenging weather conditions, presenting itself as highly resistant to diseases which makes cultivation relatively manageable. Due to their small size, the berry's skin-to-juice ratio is high, that results in wines potentially high in complexity.

The wines made from this grape often display noticeable acidity and intense floral and citrus notes. They hint at a good flavour concentration, with predominant notes of lime, peach, and apricot, while on the nose; there may be traces of delicate white flowers, potentially infused with mingling undertones of mineral and spice. This makes them richly textured, a characteristic which, when combined with its inherent chemistry, provides generous longevity.

Viosinho Dozelino Branco is typically vinified in its pure form, and as a component of blends, it holds a strong affinity for oak, adding depth and richness to its wine. As a single varietal wine, it produces a generous, full-bodied and intensely aromatic wine. Still, as part of a blend, it adds complexity, enhancing the overall fruit profile, and balances out any severe acidity.

In conclusion, the Viosinho Dozelino Branco grape varietal is a unique and promising grape, playing a vital role in the winemaking tradition of the Douro and Trás-os-Montes regions. It’s a pleasure to the palate and indeed an asset to the fascinating world of wine.
