Quinta Da Calçada Reserva Branco

Description

This Quinta da Calçada Reserva clearly spent some time reflecting before revealing its full potential. Crafted from Alvarinho, Loureiro and Arinto grapes, the wine underwent a gentle pressing and then eight months in French oak barrels – a little like a refined conversation, wouldn’t you say? The result is a brilliantly pale yellow wine with a wonderfully persistent aroma and a refreshingly sharp acidity that practically argues with the wine’s underlying minerality. Robert Parker, predictably, awarded it 89 points, noting a long, cool finish that’s perfect alongside some fresh seafood.
