Reserva Especial Vinhas Velhas Branco 2020: old vines, mineral and voluminous.
Tasting note
Straw yellow with light green tints. An intense aroma with mainly mineral notes, fruit and hints of oak, giving it a special complexity. Fresh, elegant and voluminous, with a long, complex finish.
The story
After alcoholic fermentation the wine ages for twelve months in the same casks, with regular bâtonnage.
Winemaker: Rui Cunha.
Food pairing
Lovely with oily fish, cod in all its forms, stews and various 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.
