Rabigato is one of Portugal’s most important white grapes. Roughly meaning “cat’s tail” for its narrow and long bunch structure, Rabigato produces white wines which are refreshing and vibrant, with the best examples coming from the Douro Valley. Typically, aromas of orange-blossom and white flowers are coupled with a strong mineral backbone.
