Costa do Pombal Branco 2021: lively, with citrus and ripe tropical fruit.
Tasting note
Lively and elegant, with a young aroma of citrus and ripe tropical fruit. Dry, round and smooth, with well-balanced acidity and an elegant finish.
The story
The destemmed grapes are lightly crushed and gently pressed, after which the must settles for 18 hours. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and the wine then ages for six months on fine lees, with regular bâtonnage.
Winemaker: Rui Cunha.
Food pairing
Excellent as an aperitif, with snacks, salads, fish and seafood, pasta and risotto, white meat, pizza and Asian dishes.
The producer
Vallegre is based at Quinta da Vista Alegre, in the Cima Corgo, on the right bank of the Douro between the mouth of the Pinhão and Covas do Douro. The quinta’s vineyards have been making wine since the 19th century. The quinta belongs to the Cunha Barros family, and in 1998 the company took the name Vallegre, a blend of its two main quintas: Valle Longo and Vista Alegre.
At Quinta da Vista Alegre the grapes for Port are still foot-trodden in old stone lagares. Besides Port, Vallegre also makes unfortified Douro wines.
