Vila Real Reserva Branco

Vila Real Reserva Branco

Vila Real Reserva Branco is a wine of elegance and complexity, born on the slopes of the Douro, where schist and altitude shape grapes of exceptional character. Sourced from traditional vineyards planted in high-altitude and mid-slope areas of Baixo-Corgo, this white reflects the philosophy of Adega Vila Real: the pursuit of the perfect balance between mineral freshness and mouthfeel.

Hand harvesting and careful reception of the grapes set the tone for a rigorous winemaking process. Prolonged fermentations, partially in wood, allow the wine to gain complexity without losing its fresh essence. Aging on fine lees, with regular bâtonnage, in French and American oak until the following spring, gives structure and depth, perfectly integrating the influence of wood with the natural minerality of the grape varieties.

Tasting Notes

• Pale yellow color, bright and inviting
• Fresh aroma of ripe citrus fruits, with mineral notes characteristic of the Douro plateaus
• Complexity and volume derived from prolonged contact with fine lees
• Voluminous and fresh palate, well integrated, with a long and persistent finish

A food-friendly wine, Vila Real Reserva Branco is the ideal companion for oven-baked fish, white meats, cod dishes or aged cheese. Serve at 8-10ºC to appreciate all its elegance and complexity. A white that honors the tradition of the Douro with modern winemaking.
