Staff Pick Notes

White wines from the Douro are like an open secret; there are some spectacular wines hiding everywhere you look! Muxagat is one to know if you're keen on textured, smooth whites that have a bit of extra finesse. They are a family-owned property with Susan Lopes steering the ship, and legendary Douro winemaker Luis Seabra making some incredibly beautiful wines.
