Description

White Reserve Encostas de Lá is a wine with a citrus aroma, with an elegant, well-balanced structure and fresh acidity.

Cépage: Gouveio, Viosinho, Viosinho and Códega do Larinho
Production Method: The grapes from the best plots were hand-picked from the plots that showed a more balanced maturation. After careful manual selection and harvesting, the grapes are crushed and completely destemmed. This is followed by a period of 48 hours of skin maceration at 10ºC to maximize the performance of the grape enzymes responsible for extracting aromas. Cold defecation at 7ºC for 48 hours. Selected yeasts are used to induce alcoholic fermentation, which takes place between 12ºC and 15ºC for a minimum of 30 days. Part of the wine batch was transferred to new French oak barrels where it remained for 4 months. After bottling, the wine aged in the bottle for 2 months before being sold.
Tasting Note: Citrine green color. Intense fruity aroma of lime, pippin apple, vanilla and rose petals. Elegant structure well balanced with fresh acidity, long fresh and mineral finish.
Enologist: Jorge Alves e Fernando Costa
