Vallegre Reserva Branco 2022: mineral, with fresh fruit and well-integrated oak.
Tasting note
A very mineral white, with pleasant aromas of oak and fresh fruit. On the palate harmonious acidity, fresh fruit and well-integrated oak.
The story
After careful selection the grapes are destemmed, macerated and gently pressed. The must is settled and ferments in new oak casks, where the wine then ages for another nine months, with regular bâtonnage.
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.
