<p></p><p>The history of Quinta João Clara, located in Alcantarilha, refers back to the 1970s, in the 20th century, when the producer João Maria Alves decided to acquire the property and plant his first vineyard</p>
<p></p><p>Inóspito Rabigato White Wine.</p> <p>Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts and ends in new and used French oak barrels (Bertrange forest). We want it to be a wine where the minerality, greasiness, acidity and freshness are symbols and expressions of this unique terroir and this incredible indigenous Douro grape variety.</p>
<p></p><p>Bastardo is a noble grape variety, despite its name invoking something undesirable or controversial. It is mostly found in field blends from old vineyards in the Douro, which is why it is rarely vinified solo. It is undoubtedly a demanding variety in the vineyard, but it produces open-coloured wines that surprise us with their high expressiveness, delicacy and great finesse.</p>
