Terrenus Vinha Da Serra white Vinho Regional Alentejano – 2022
CHF 31.90
This white wine is a blend of 6 native white grape varietals – Arinto, Fernao Pires, Bical, Roupeiro, Malvasia Fina and Tamares – grown on vines over 100 years old. “Serra” means mountains and the Serra vineyard is Rui’s highest, at over 800mts altitude. This small vineyard is 1 hectare in size.
The wine was fermented in cement, egg-shaped fermentation vessels then moved to large 500litre French oak barrels (50% new oak, 50% used) for 8-9 months.
Distinctly fruity on the nose with overt aromas of apricots and mango.
On the palate there is good weight and opulence of fruit. Rich, full bodied, smooth and mouthfilling, yet gentle and subtle at the same time. It has the very faintest of vanilla oak flavours, but clearly the oak maturation has added weight and complexity. Finishes with a salty, mineral bite of acidity. Very impressive! 13.5% alcohol.
Perfect with grilled black Iberico pork (a local Alentejo speciality!)
