Casa Ferreirinha Vinha Grande White 2019

After selection at the high altitude vineyards of Quinta do Cavernelho and Quinta do Sairrão, the hand-picked grapes underwent de-stemming and soft crushing in a pneumatic press at the Vila Real winery. Vinification took place with skin maceration, for better extraction of aromatic components, followed by soft pressing and fermentation in French oak casks with lees stirring. The wines that make up Vinha Grande were aged in French oak barrels for about 3 months. Thereafter, following numerous tastings and a strict selection, the final blend was prepared and, after clarification, it was bottled and matured in the bottle prior to release.

Tasting Note: It has a bright clarity with greenish hints. Its bouquet is intense and finely complex, with a prevalence of white fruits such as pear and melon, slight citrus and mineral notes, as well as a discreet and well integrated touch of oak. On the palate this wne has fine volume, a lively acidity that provides it with a minerally freshness, with white fruits again in evidence, and balanced, integrated oak. Its finish is long and complex.

Food Pairing: Excellent as an aperitif or with fish and seafood dishes, salads, pasta and even some white meats.
