Invincible Douro Branco No 2 2020 presents a blend of native Portuguese varieties, showcasing the Douro region`s distinct terroir. It features citrus and stone fruit aromas, coupled with a structured mouthfeel, bringing forward a savoury, mineral essence typical of the Douro Valley. The wine undergoes some oak maturation, contributing subtle complexity without dominating the fruit character. This vintage follows the collaboration between Rita Marques and Marc Kent, a project that emphasises sustainable practices while honouring traditional winemaking methods.

The 2020 Invincible Branco number two, in essence the Reserva, is a field blend of Rabigato, Códega and others aged for 10 months in used French oak. It comes in at 12.7% alcohol. This adds more oak to the number one, but it is no more pleasing, even given the elevated status. It is well done, integrating the wood well, but it doesn`t show the same brightness or purity, of course. I liked them about equally well; they`re different, not better. It is more a question of how you will use them, this being likely better with stronger foods. This runs around 16 euros in Portugal, still a nice deal.
