2022 Quinta da Pacheca Grande Reserva white

Quinta da Pacheca Grande Reserva Branco 2022 is a Douro DOC white wine made from Arinto, Viosinho and Gouveio, fermented and aged on fine lees for one year in French oak vats and 500-litre barrels, with regular bâtonnage. Citrusy yellow in colour with greenish highlights, it reveals delicate aromas of lime and white fruit. Intense, fresh and well-structured on the palate, it shows delicate tannins and a long, persistent finish.

Quinta da Pacheca, one of the best-known properties in the Douro, stands out for being one of the first to bottle its own-brand wines.

The name of this estate has been referenced since the 17th April 1738, when in a dated document appears for the first time the reference to Quinta "da Pacheca", due to its owner D. Mariana Pacheco Pereira. But it was only in 1903 that D. José Freire de Serpa Pimentel decided to develop his growing interest in oenology, buying the property to dedicate himself to wine production.

Today, a century later, the new Serpa Pimentel generation takes over the management of the Quinta: Maria, Catarina, and José are the young faces of this distinctly family-oriented company.
