Côdega do Larinho

A quietly expressive white grape from Portugal’s Douro and Trás-os-Montes regions, Côdega do Larinho plays a subtle but vital role in the country’s white blends. Known for its freshness and aromatic lift, it lends citrus blossom, green pear, and a faint herbal edge to field blends often dominated by richer varieties. On its own, it is light-bodied, brisk, and delicately textured - more about nuance than impact. Though rarely seen solo, its presence is increasingly appreciated by winemakers seeking elegance in the Douro’s sun-drenched terroir. A grape of finesse and restraint, Côdega do Larinho whispers where others shout.
