Product details
The first choice quality grapes were harvested in small boxes, and immediately cooled during 12 hours of pellicular maceration at the Quinta dos Bons Ares’ vinification centre. Later the grapes underwent a second selection at the reception centre before falling by gravity into the press, where we used light pressing cycles. The clean juice was fermented slowly at low temperatures to retain maximum flavour.
Grape Varieties:
Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Notes:
Clean colour, transparent and golden. The first sensations are the intense smell of the flowers and tropical fruits (papaya, pineapple, mango). After stirring come the fresher and more penetrating, straw like and citrus notes. On the palate, it is quite expressive, entering thick, filling our taste buds, but always with an acidity which gives it a long-lasting freshness and elegance.
Store and Serve Advices:
Serve between 11º and 13ºC. Store the bottle on its side in a cool, dry and dark place.
Food Pairing:
Excellent as an aperitif, it can also be served with soups and creams. It’s always good with seafood dishes, oysters, clams, steamed mussels, smoked and marinated fish (ceviche). You can also try it with foie gras.
Allergens:
Contains sulphites.
Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
