Águia Moura Quinta De Martim Branco

Description

This Águia Moura Quinta de Martim – a white wine from the Douro – clearly had a spirited conversation with its grapes before hitting the press. A complete délestage (pumping over) unleashed a full range of flavours, followed by a maceration that didn’t shy away from getting involved. Twenty-four hours of skin contact delivered a serious dose of intensity and body, thanks to the grape skins’ contribution. Pneumatic pressing ensured a gentle extraction, a technique presumably favoured by the producer, and it pairs beautifully with grilled white fish, particularly eel.
