Guru Vinha da Calçada White

Discover the Quinta da Rede Reserva da Família White, a superior wine from the Douro, Lower Corgo subregion, meticulously produced from old vines of Arinto, Rabigato, and Viosinho. This wine stands out for its rigorous process of manual grape selection, total destemming, and cold skin maceration for 12 hours, followed by fermentation in lightly toasted French oak barrels at 15ºC. Aged for 18 months "en sur lie" in the same barrels where partial malolactic fermentation occurred, this wine displays an intense citrine color with greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers superb complexity, with notes of stone white fruits, distinct minerality, and hints of vanilla in perfect harmony. Ideal to accompany a variety of dishes, from spicy charcuterie to baked fish, grilled white meats or stews, and soft cheeses. Served at 10ºC, it provides a crisp freshness that enhances its persistence and longevity.

Fresh grapes at their ideal point of maturation, picked by hand into 20 kg boxes, are transported to the cellar where they were subjected to a careful manual selection. They are destemmed, crushed and macerated for 48 hours, followed by French oak barrels, where they ferment and stash. This wine is a batch of wines from several years. It presents an intense straw color. Aromas of bread, honey, grapefruit, white flowers and wet stone. In the mouth it is a wine filled with layers, very voluminous and full of energy given its persistent freshness. Contains sulfites.
