2019 Cortes do Reguengo white
Description
Cortes do Reguengo white is produced by the varieties Rabigato, Gouveio and Viosinho, harvested manually and fermented in 500L barrels where it is then aged for 9 months. Thus, it presents a bright yellow colour, with rich and complex aromas, enhancing and balancing the floral notes with the smoked wood notes.
The Quinta do Reguengo, is located in the sub-region of Douro Superior next to the Douro River in Pocinho, Vila Nova de Foz Côa, characterized by clay-shale soils where granite outcrops can be found. This type of soil, combined with different altitudes, exposures, and grape varieties, is influenced by the hot, humid winds from the Douro River valley and the cooler winds from Spain, creating excellent conditions for the regular ripening of the grapes. Oenology is the responsibility of Pedro Branco, who is also the protagonist of the Família Silva Branco wines.
