Quinta Da Pedra Escrita Branco

Description

Quinta da Pedra Escrita The Quinta da Pedra Escrita is located in Freixo de Numão, in the Upper Douro, at an average altitude of 575 metres. The dry, arid soils are predominantly granitic, sandy and very low in nutrients, giving rise to wines with aromas of extreme complexity and great longevity, as in times past. This is a tradition we wish to bring back in a world of increasingly stereotyped wines, and one that highlights the unique character of the high-altitude white wines of the Douro. Winemaking: Harvested by hand into small perforated crates of 15 kg, fermented using cold-fermentation technology in a reductive environment, with temperature controlled at around 16°C. The grapes are pressed without crushing and without destemming under an inert atmosphere in order to preserve their full aromatic potential. The entire wine ferments in used French oak barrels, where it remains after a light racking over fine lees, with periodic stirring (battonage) until the final blend is assembled at the end of spring. The Quinta da Pedra Escrita white wine has excellent gastronomic versatility and pairs exceptionally well with semi-cured sheep's cheeses, oily and smoked fish, and shellfish.
