Cosmos Reserva Branco

Description

Cosmos Reserva Branco is a white wine from Beira Interior, Portugal, produced by CARM. It is a blend of the Gouveio, Síria, and Fonte Cal grape varieties. Vintage 2025. Cosmos Reserva Branco by CARM: A young wine from old vines. Grape varieties: 50% Gouveio, 25% Síria, and 25% Fonte Cal Ageing: 6 months in 300-litre French oak barrels Winemaking: At our winery, using state-of-the-art technology and full temperature control, we eliminated any bunches that were not in perfect condition. The grapes were fully destemmed, then gently crushed and given a skin maceration of about 12 hours. After this period under an inert atmosphere, the juice was pressed in a pneumatic press, followed by a clarification of the must lasting 24 to 48 hours, depending on the variety and its state of ripeness. Alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 12 to 14 °C. The wines were then aged in French oak barrels for six months. The wine shows a golden colour. On the nose it is very fresh, with citrus fruit and subtle hints of oak, in harmony with floral notes. On the palate it stands out for its acidity and minerality. It pairs well with fish, shellfish, white meats, and salads. Serve at 8–12 °C. ABV: 13% vol. Bottle size: 0.75 L. Serve this white well chilled but not icy, in a medium-sized glass that concentrates its aromas. If the bottle comes out of the refrigerator too cold, let it stand at room temperature for a few minutes so the wine can reveal its full expression. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place without temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve its aromas.
