Rabigato

Rabigato is a white grape variety from Portugal that you should definitely get to know. Its name translates to "cat's tail" and refers to the elongated, compact shape of the grapes. Its home is in the Douro Valley and Trás-os-Montes, where it thrives on the barren slate soils and under the hot sun. What makes it so special is its ability to retain a lively, precise acidity even in warm years, which gives it an amazing freshness and structure. In the glass, it has an enticing aroma of citrus fruits, green apples, pears and white blossoms, often accompanied by a subtle mineral note reminiscent of the slate of its homeland. On the palate, it is dry, elegant and taut with a lively acidity and sometimes a slight bitterness in the finish. It is both produced as a single varietal and used in blends, where it lends freshness and longevity. Perfect with grilled fish, seafood, or a light salad.

Rabigato – eine weiße Rebsorte aus dem Douro-Tal

Rabigato gehört zu den autochthonen weißen Rebsorten des Douro-Tals und findet sich dort vor allem in klassischen Portweincuvées. Bei Vinoscout findest du zwei Portweine, in denen Rabigato eine Rolle spielt – ab 12,95 Euro.

Herkunft & Charakter

Die Sorte ist fest im Douro verwurzelt, wo sie auf den terrassierten Schiefer- und Granitböden des Flussufers gedeiht. Als Bestandteil von Weißport-Cuvées bringt Rabigato frische Säure und florale Noten mit – typisch sind Aromen von weißem Pfirsich, Zitrusschale und Blüten. In der Regel wird sie mit anderen einheimischen Sorten wie Gouveio oder Malvasia Fina verschnitten, was dem Wein Struktur und Tiefe verleiht. Im Kontext der hier gelisteten Portweine – einem Late Bottled Vintage und einem Ruby Reserve von Taylor's – tritt Rabigato als Teil eines komplexen Rebsortenmosaiks auf, das das Douro-Tal seit Jahrhunderten prägt.

Passt zu

Gereifter Hartkäse wie Manchego oder Comté
Dunkle Schokolade und Nussdesserts
Geschmortes Fleisch und Wildgerichte
Blaue Käsesorten wie Roquefort
