Altano Bianco DOC Douro 2023
The Wine
The 2023 Altano Bianco DOC Douro is a bright and lively Portuguese white from the Douro Valley, made from a mix of local grapes like Malvasia Fina, Viosinho, Moscatel Galego, and Arinto. Sourced from higher-altitude vineyards, it offers a clean, aromatic style with a focus on freshness and balance. The nose bursts with citrus, green apple, and tropical fruits like lychee and passion fruit, layered with gentle floral and herbal hints.
On the palate, it’s light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a refreshing, energetic feel. Fresh citrus and orchard fruit flavors carry through to a clean, vibrant, and easygoing finish. Unoaked, youthful, and approachable, it’s perfect for relaxed, everyday sipping.

About the Wine Maker 
Altano is produced by the Symington family, known for their long and distinguished history of producing premium Vintage Ports in the Douro. As a natural extension of their interest in and dedication to the Douro Valley, the Symingtons began producing Douro DOC table wines seriously in 1999.
Sourced from the family’s 26 vineyards, a total of 275 acres, the Altano range of wines includes four labels—three red table wines and one white table wine. In a region where producers have historically relied on buying grapes, generations of Symington winemakers have put vineyard ownership at the heart of the family’s winemaking philosophy.
Today seven members of the Symington family are involved in the business, personally managing all aspects of winemaking from the vineyard to the final bottling of the wines. Symington Family Estates is a certified B-Corp, committed to sustainable winemaking, working actively to protect natural ecosystems, limit carbon emissions, and support the local communities in the regions where they work.
