Alvarinho Reserva

The wine was made with the greatest care and professional attention using selected grapes picked at optimum ripeness. Gentle destemming, crushing and pressing was carried out under the protection of inert gases, and the juice was clarified to the desired degree. It then fermented at about 16ºC using native yeast QA 23 selected at Quinta de Azevedo. After fermentation, the wine remained for 4 months on fine lees to improve and enrich flavour, aroma and texture. Immediately before bottling, it was lightly fined, stabilised and filtered.

Quinta de Azevedo is a fresh, elegant wine, an exemplary Vinho Verde. It is named after the magnificent Azevedo property, which belongs to Sogrape.

Very attractive lemony-yellow colour with glints of green. Intense aroma in which floral notes (roses and orange blossom) combine with hints of citrus and minerality. With a very slight prickle of fizz, it is vibrant, lively and well balanced, and the long finish has notes of minerality again, along with citrus flowers.

Serve it cold, ideally at between 6ºC and 8ºC. Once open, it is best drunk on the same day, but will keep for a day or two in the fridge. Quinta de Azevedo is ideal an ideal accompaniment for fish, seafood, salads, pasta dishes, or can be drunk simply on its own.
