Quinta Vale De Fornos Branco

Description

“Harvested with the painstaking care only hand-picking in 20kg boxes can deliver, this Vale de Fornos white is a delightful blend of Arinto’s elegance and Chardonnay’s complexity, lifted by a touch of Gewürztraminer’s exoticism. The extended, open-banc fermentation – with regular *batonnage* to preserve the lees – has resulted in a remarkably velvety texture and vibrant acidity. Spending time in 350L French oak barrels, again with *batonnage*, has imparted a rich, persistent character, making it a brilliant partner for grilled seafood or fresh fish.”
