Dão Álvaro Castro Reserva Branco 2022

Grape varieties: Encruzado (50%), Cercial-branco and Bical (50%). Vines aged 15 to 25 years.

Tasting Note: Delicate aroma, in harmony with some notes of stone and light notes of white fruit. Structured, with good mouth volume, it is a white with presence, supported by a good acidity and a strong mineral component. Provides a delicate finish with notes of fruit and fresh herbs.

Soil: Granite with lines of clay and sand.

Vinification: After a few hours of skin contact on the day of the harvest, very slow fermentation follows. The 2 month batonnage caused a good increase in volume that combines quite well with its acidity and minerality.
