Marquês d'Almeida Grande Reserva Branco 2019

Grape Varieties: Síria, Fonte Cal and Arinto.

Tasting Notes: A new wine from Old Vines. Aromatically it is a very fresh wine, with citrus fruit, in harmony with light floral nuances and strong mineral notes typical of Terroir. Note the presence of wood in an elegant and harmonious way. Long and persistent finish.

Vinification: The grapes were vinified with total destemming, followed by gentle crushing and skin maceration for about 12 hours. After this period in an inert atmosphere, pressing was done in a pneumatic press, followed by a period of clarification of the must, from 24h to 48h, depending on the variety and the state of maturity. The alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature between 12º and 14ºC. The wines were fermented and aged in 300L French oak barrels for 8 months.

Ageing: 8 months in new French oak barrels with battonage.

Gastronomy: An ideal white to accompany fish, seafood and white meat. Serve slightly chilled, between 8º and 12ºC.
