Montes Claros Reserva White

Discover Bacalhôa Bical Vinhas Velhas 1931 White, a precious wine from Quinta da Rigodeira, acquired by Aliança Vinhos de Portugal in 2003. Located in the excellent wine region of Bairrada, between Fogueira and Ancas, this farm is home to notable plots, including a plantation from 1931, dedicated to the noble Bical grape variety. This wine is distinguished by its unique aging: 60% of the batch fermented and matured for 12 months in new and one-year-old French oak barrels, while the remaining 40% benefited from the purity and freshness provided by stainless steel. It has an extremely pale greenish yellow color, revealing an intense, finely delicate aroma, with touches of white-fleshed fruit and soft toasted notes. The balance is masterful, leading to a long and intense finish, where mineral notes stand out, adding complexity and promising admirable longevity. Its good acidity and refinement are excellent, demonstrating an impressive evolutionary capacity. In gastronomy, Bacalhôa Bical Vinhas Velhas 1931 White harmonizes perfectly with fatty fish and delicate meats, thanks to its positive evolution in the bottle that enriches any meal with incomparable elegance.

The harvested grapes were selected from the vineyard and then introduced into the vats with 40% destemmed and 60% whole bunches, allowing the extraction of color and aroma compounds more smoothly during 2 weeks of alcoholic fermentation entirely in stainless steel vats, having completed the malolactic fermentation in stainless steel.
