Quinta Da Pedra Escrita Reserva Branco

Description

This wine from Quinta da Pedra Escrita, crafted by the masterful Rui Roboredo, demonstrates that precision can be remarkably elegant. Utilizing Viognier, Rabigato, Verdelho and Alvarinho, it’s a white wine that truly captures the spirit of the Douro Superior. The grapes, meticulously hand-picked and treated with the care of a jewel, are gently pressed in an environment designed to preserve their aromatic soul. The granite soil, at 575 metres above sea level, imparts a distinct mineral character – think zesty citrus and intriguing exotic fruit notes. A prolonged aging in 500-litre French oak barrels, coupled with a fine lees aging, provides a wonderfully persistent structure and a vibrant acidity, making it a brilliant match for grilled fish or poultry with mushrooms. It’s a wine that delivers on its promise, undoubtedly.
