Monte Da Ria Branco Reserva 2020

Monte Da Ria Branco Reserva is a delicious Portuguese white wine. It is a blend of Encruzado(60%) and Arinto(40%). The grape varieties are harvested by hand. This is followed by total detuning, cold crushing, exhaustion in a press and decanting into stainless tanks where the fermentation process takes place at a temperature of 15 degrees Cesius. The Encruzado ends its fermentation in barrels where it stays for more than 6 months with batonnage. Arinto only ferments in lnox with light batonnage on fine yeasts. In preparation for bottling, the last batch is made, which undergoes only a light collage with mineral agents and then a filtration immediately before filling the bottles to preserve all the aromatic potential. The wine comes from the Algarve region with an alcohol content of 13%.

Description

Viticulture

Portugal has always gone its own way throughout the centuries, and it still does. The same goes for viticulture. Portuguese witnesses therefore testify to an intriguing idiosyncrasy. Anyone who tastes them immediately says: “typically Portuguese”. They are wines with an unmistakable personal character, for adventurous wine drinkers. Keyword: originality.

What makes Portuguese wines so special is the combination of classic and modern. That classic lies in the use of unique grape varieties, supplemented with exotic-looking names. All told, there are hundreds of them, and most of them are only planted in Portugal. In the Douro Valley alone – the Port area – there are officially allowed! Unlike their colleagues in most other wine baskets, most Portuguese wine producers have so far steered clear of classic varieties such as chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon. Sticking to your own grapes, which was once perceived as a sign of lagging behind, now turned out to be a strong asset!
