Joana has secured access to some of the highest elevation Touriga in Douro, offering the brightest acidity and tension while still expressing Touriga’s floral and mineral personality. Joana loves to say that this rosé is what “Touriga Naçional tastes like on the vine, with no makeup.

Geographic Wines was founded by Nuno Morais Vaz and Daniela Matias, driven by a shared passion for creating authentic wines that honour Portugal’s diverse terroirs while embracing social and environmental sustainability. Their philosophy is rooted in the belief that each bottle should offer a true sense of place, allowing wine lovers to explore Portugal without leaving home. Nuno, with deep roots in the Douro, travels extensively each year in search of unique vineyards that capture the history and character of the world’s oldest demarcated region, paying tribute to the vines and the generations who cultivated them. Daniela, an advocate of avantgarde oenology, champions minimal intervention and thoughtful experimentation, ensuring each parcel is vinified separately to preserve its individuality. Together, they embody the principle that less is more, letting the land speak through every wine they craft.

Sourced from vineyards just 5 km from the Atlantic - one on clay-schist soils and another on granite - this Loureiro from the Lima Valley captures the essence of its coastal terroir. Fresh and saline, it offers intense varietal aromas with a delicate texture and lip-smacking acidity. Crafted with minimal intervention to maximize expression, the wine reflects the pure character of Loureiro: aromatic, precise, and deeply evocative of the Atlantic breeze.

Best enjoyed with grilled fish and seafood.

Douro, the first demarcated wine region in the world, was registered in 1756. However, such is the variety of terroirs and exposures in the Douro that one might say there are many Douros. This is why, between the years of 1935 and 1947 a system of grading was introduced classifying the vineyards in this region from A to F, being “A” vineyards the ones with best potential for production of Port Wines showing superior maturation of the grapes and generally located closer to the river where most of the concentration and power, which characterizes the Douro wines, is found. This is our letter A Douro wine. 

Deep ruby-violet color, showing a concentrated aroma of dark fruits combining with subtle herbal and floral notes. In the palate, concentrated ripe fruit contrast with powerful but well-rounded tannins ending in a persistent finish.
