Vinto Reguengos Seleção White
Harvest: 2023
Appellation: D.O.C. Alentejo
Grape Varieties: Antão Vaz and Gouveio
Alcohol content: 13%
Winemaking
Following the selection of grapes in our members' vineyards, the harvest takes place. In the winery, they are unloaded, immediately destemmed and crushed, followed by a light skin maceration (about 8 hours) in order to extract all the aromatic compounds from the skins.
Subsequently, the grapes are pressed with oxidation protection, from which the free-run juice is extracted. After static clarification, it ferments in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures (15/16ºC) to preserve all the aromas.
Aging
Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, racking is performed, and the stabilization and clarification process begins immediately.
Tasting Notes
A wine with a crystalline appearance, pale straw color, and a fruity aroma suggesting ripe mango and passion fruit, wrapped in citrus notes. On the palate, it is balanced and fresh, in a complex and elegant ensemble.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with salads, shellfish, grilled or boiled fish with light sauces, and sushi.
