Made from grapes grown in the Symington family’s own Douro Valley vineyards (principally Cima Corgo & Douro Superior sub-regions). In all of these, environmental care is uppermost in the viticulturists’ minds & accordingly, they use integrated vineyard management, a code of sustainable agricultural practice which favours natural measures to control pests & other threats to the vines. Ideal for everyday, informal drinking at home with family or with friends, a great wine to relax & unwind with.

A very food-friendly wine, Altano is a great companion for a wide selection of foods. Its full, assertive fruity style makes it particularly suited to accompany savoury Mediterranean dishes & barbecue grills. Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz & Tinta Barroca (the relative proportions of each vary from year to year). ...

Symington family properties in the Baixo Corgo sub-region of the Douro Valley where the vines are planted at higher altitudes (therefore cooler) & where the climate is more temperate. Some fruit is also drawn from the Douro Superior & from a small selection of growers in the Cima Corgo area. Wonderfully fresh summer & tropical fruits: peach, apricot & pineapple, which linger pleasurably on the palate. Very crisp & satisfying in the mouth with hints of green apples & lightly herbal nuances, finishing with an attractive citrus acidity
- vibrant & appealing. Ideal to accompany shellfish & other fresh seafood, as well as summer salads, or quite simply as a refreshing aperitif, served well chilled. Five months in stainless steel vats in order to preserve all the crisp, zesty freshness of the wine. Malvasia Fina, Viosinho, Rabigato & Moscatel Galego (the relative proportions of each, vary from year to year).
