Valados de Melgaço Alvarinho Reserva Branco 2020

On the privileged slopes of the left bank of the valley of the river Minho, facing west, the best grapes of the Alvarinho variety are grown, which we selected to produce this wine with a distinct personality, only obtained in the unique terroir of this region.

Grape Varieties: Alvarinho

Tasting Notes: Citrus in color, with slight yellow tones and a complex aroma, with the presence of stone fruit and a small citrus, tropical and floral touch, we can taste an enveloping, full-bodied wine with acidity well attenuated by its sweetness. We recommend tasting it at 12ºC, with or outside of the meal.

Vinification: Total destemming, pre-fermentation skin maceration. Pressing the grape must until pression of 0.8 bar. Natural sedimentation by static
decanting for 24 hours at 14ºC.

Fermentation: In stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 17ºC until total breakdown of sugars.

Ageing: In stainless steel vats, with fine lees batonnage for 1 month, remaining 4 more months before bottling. Followed by 2 months of ageing in bottle.
