From Louis/Dressner, importer:

Douro, Portugal

Grapes: Gouvejo, Rabigato, Viosinho, Moscatel

Fun facts:
A white field blend made from exclusively Class A parcels (Pousado, Vale de Moinhos, Serra de Cotas). Infantado is the only estate in the entire Douro to have only Class A land. Read about it in the article "Quinta do Infantado: The Terroir From A to E".

Appellation:
Porto

Winemaking:
The fruit is hand harvested, partly destemmed and fermented in lagar and tank with indigenous yeasts and some skin contact. Fermentation is stopped with 77% ABV grape brandy. The wine is aged in a combination of very old tonel or balseiro (tall wooden tanks from 3,000-60,000 liters with thick staves that slow down oxidation) and the classic Port pipa (550-liter horizontal casks with thinner staves that promote oxidation). It finishes at a modest 19.5% alcohol and 30 grams per liter of residual sugar, rendering it legally dry or seco. Average age in bottle is between three and four years before release.
