Herdade Aldeia De Cima Branco

Description

This wine from Herdade Aldeia de Cima, harvested between August and September on the slopes of Serra do Mendro, is a testament to meticulousness and patience. The schist-clay soils, boasting a significant daily thermal range, impart a remarkable freshness to the wines of this region – particularly evident in this expression of Perrum, Arinto, Antão Vaz, Alvarinho, and Roupeiro, with a touch of boldness from each grape. Hand-picked under the watchful eye of Joaquim Faia, with the expertise of Jorge Alves and António Cavalheiro, the winemaking prioritises preserving the distinct character of each variety. A wine that, as lauded by prominent international critics and publications (including Wine Advocate and Robert Parker), would be wonderfully paired with grilled fish or white meats.
