FozTua Reserva 2023

FozTua Reserva White wine comes from carefully selected white grapes from the coolest slopes of the Douro.

Vineyard

White wine made from the Gouveio (45%), Rabigato (30%) and Arinto (25%) grape varieties, originating from granite plots at an altitude of 550 meters.

Winemaking

Minimal intervention winemaking. Grapes harvested by hand in 20 kg boxes, with direct pressing of the whole bunch. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. After fermentation, 30% of the batch aged in new French oak barrels with fine lees for 9 months.

Bottling

Held on July 15, 2024, with 2552 750 ml bottles.

Tasting Notes

Clear white wine with greenish hues. The nose reveals freshness, notes of resin, mango and spices. The wood is well integrated and adds complexity. The palate is broad, with crystalline acidity, and a long and elegant finish.

Serving suggestion: between 10ºC and 12ºC.

Harmonization

Ideal with cheese or salmon fillet with green beans. The acidity of the wine goes well with the fat of the salmon. It also goes well with Palhais cheese and nuts (walnuts or almonds).
