Dalva Unveils New Vintage of Premium White Wine Metamorfose

Seven years after the launch of the Dalva Metamorfose 2014, Dalva continues its premium wine range with the arrival of Metamorfose Douro Branco 2019. Metamorfose means change, transformation in the development process, a phenomenon that requires time and patience. This is what we witness in both the butterfly, the human being, and also in wine. This second Dalva Metamorfose is an example of this.

Signed by winemaker José Manuel Sousa Soares, it is a wine made with traditional white grapes from the Douro Demarcated Region, coming from a century-old vineyard located in Sabrosa, subsequently enriched by fermentation and eight months of aging in used 300-liter Hungarian oak barrels. The Dalva Metamorfose Douro Branco 2019 stands out for its delicate and fresh aroma and flavor. On the nose, the presence of citrus fruits, with some stone fruit, and a touch of white flowers stands out. On the palate, it reveals expressive acidity and minerality, providing an enveloping taste with a long finish. Ideal to accompany medium-intensity cheeses, as well as seafood, fatty fish or white meats.

With only 1600 bottles available and a retail price of €35, the Dalva Metamorfose Douro Branco 2019 will be available in the main wine shops in the country, restaurants, online store www.granvinhos.pt, and at the GranVinhos group’s wine tourism locations.
