Cima Corgo; mainly Murça
Field blend of more than 15 traditional Douro white varieties
Foot crushed; cool pre-fermentation maceration with part of the grape spirit; fortified in lagar and aged for at least two years in century-old Port casks and small stainless-steel vats.
Serve chilled as an aperitif, in a white-Port-and-tonic, or with salted almonds and light pâté.
More than 15 native white grapes and traditional lagar work give this far more provenance than a generic sweet aperitif.

The van Zeller family's connection to Douro wine dates to 1620, with Van Zellers & Co formally founded in 1780. Cristiano van Zeller and Joana Pinhão continue that heritage through hand-crafted field blends, traditional lagares and careful maturation in very old Port casks.
