Gema Alvarinho Curtimenta 2020 Vinho Verde Branco 75cl

Description

Produced in Quinta do Reguengo, a place chosen many centuries ago by the royal family to send family members and settle there! The bird that inspires the brand is present in the manor's coats of arms and we want the wines to be as intriguing, sophisticated, fascinating and original as he is.

The grapes are transported to the cellar immediately after harvesting in small boxes. They are then gently pressed before entering the fermentation process in stainless steel vats with a refrigeration system with temperature control, from 15º to 18º. Selected fermentation yeasts are added. Maturation in the bottle

Clear and citrine color. Slightly fruity aroma, with citrus nuances, some orange blossom and tropical stone fruits. Fresh mineral and evolved palate with a long and persistent aftertaste.

Excellent aperitif. Pairs well with fish, seafood and roasts.

Tasting:
On the nose, it stands out for the presence of spices such as cinnamon and vanilla, complemented by citrus varietal notes and hints of dried fruits like hazelnut and almond. On the palate, it has lively acidity and well-defined flavors, with a voluminous texture and minerality, culminating in a long finish. The influence of wood provides structure and brings a balanced elegance to the palate.
