Castello d'Alba organic wine

The Castello d'Alba is one of several properties that Rui Roboredo Madeira inherited from his ancestors. A family that owns several thousand hectares of land on the Douro River and in the adjacent Beira Interior region. Rui Roboredo Madeira is a passionate winemaker, a wine nut who owns and manages several wineries but also advises and supports other winemakers. The ecological idea has played an important role for many years. Some of the wineries have been producing excellent organic wines for many years, including the Castelo d'Alba in the Douro Superior area with its granite and slate soils that can hardly be found elsewhere.

Rui Roboredo Madeira: I have always wanted my wines to be the expression of those who produce them, in respect for the unique nature of each region.
