2020 Encosta do Sobral Fernão Pires Vinhas Velhas Grande Reserva white

Encosta do Sobral Vinhas Velhas Grande Reserva white is produced from the Fernão Pires grape variety, whose grapes are influenced by the temperate Mediterranean climate of the Tomar Mountains. After ageing for about 14 months in French oak barrels, it has a bright citrus colour, tropical aromas and a mineral profile, well married with the wood. In the mouth, it is a wide, unctuous wine with a long and persistent finish.

Encosta do Sobral is an estate in the sub-region of Tomar, situated in the northernmost vineyards of the Tejo, which is distinguished by its schist soils. With 70 hectares of vineyard, it is privileged for its geographical location and unique landscape.

Santos & Seixo is a family company, formed by two families.

Alzira dos Santos and Pedro Seixo dreamed of taking up the history of both families and dedicating themselves body and soul to wine. The dream became reality when they carried out their first harvests in the country's most emblematic regions, Douro and Alentejo, in 2010.

The project grew and today the family owns properties and produces wines in Douro, Alentejo and the Vinho Verde region. In a combination of modern and traditional, from the careful selection of grapes to the production and ageing in oak barrels, all processes are done to preserve as much as possible the genuineness of the grape.
