Terrenus Reserva Vinhas Velhas White Vinho Regional Alentejano – 2021
CHF 24.90
This was made from a blend of 10 native Portuguese white grapes grown on north-facing vines over 90 years old. The main grapes are Fernao Pires, Roupeiro, Bical , Malvasia Fina and Tamarez.
This wine was fermented and then left on its lees for 9 months in concrete tank. It then spent almost a year in bottle in the winery before release. It saw no oak.
The 2021 vintage was relatively cool in the northern Alentejo, producing excellent white wines with an extra bite of acidity and freshness vs recent vintages.
This has lovely, floral, uniquely Portuguese aromas of apricot and spice. It is dry, medium bodied and surprisingly complex. Gentle peach and apricot flavours are supported by a bite of salty acidity and minerality from the old vine’s deep roots. Smooth in texture and long on the finish. Condrieu meets the Alentejo! 13.5% alcohol.
Drink with bacalhao (cod).
