Quinta Nogueira Reserva Branco 2016

Blend made from our finest white grapes Arinto and Encruzado, with denomination IGP Lisboa.

Soils: Clay-Limestone

Vineyards: Arinto and Encruzado grape varieties were harvested in the “Miranda" vineyard at Quinta do Porto Nogueira, Alguber – Cadaval. We put special emphasis on environmental and health issues, so our vines are cultivated following sustainable practices and the production is certified by the Normas de Produção Integrada (“Sustainable Production Standards“). Regarding the soil, special attention is given to the fight against erosion and the increase of organic matter content, as we prefer the non-mobilization of the soil and the application of natural origin manure.

Grape Varieties: 60% Arinto, 40% Encruzado.

Tasting Notes: Citrus color, with aromas of white pulp fruits and some toast nuances. In the mouth it reveals complexity and elegance, with well integrated freshness and unctuosity, finishing in a long and pleasantly persistent way.

Vinification: Rigorous selection of bunches and berries made over 100% of our grapes. Soft pneumatic pressing followed by a 15ºC temperature fermentation in small capacity stainless steel tanks. Partial fermentation in French oak barrels with Acacia tops, followed by 120 days of bâtonnage, and 5 months more of oak stage. Bottling, labeling and finishing performed in our cellar.

Service Temperature: 10-13ºC
