Quinta Nova Branco 2022 Grande Reserva Mirabilis
€ 65.00
Brilliant in appearance, a beautiful citrus colour with green reflexes. On the nose reveals an unusual complexity, aromas of white fruits with mineral granite notes, vanilla and cloves. In the mouth a blend of sensations and intense acidity, solid structure, linear texture and concentration, resulting in a very complex and intense wine. Long finish, precise and persistent wine, focused and translucent.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with hard cured cheeses, fatty fish, Asian style food, poultry, pork and veal
Grapes: Gouveio, Viosinho, Vinhas Velhas
Small, tight trusses and simple berries mean that production per hectare does not exceed 2300 kg, in soils at altitudes above 500 meters, classified geologically as shale/granite. Grapes from Alijó, Murça and tabuaço; very old vineyard (80 years). The wood selected is deliberately from the second and third year, only a small percentage of new wood, so as not to highlight the intense fruit and slowly integrate it, mainly focusing on French and Hungarian oak, resulting in a wine of extreme elegance, where freshness and acidity merge nicely. Grapes harvested from Alijó, Murça and tabuaço; very old vineyard (80 years).
Aged in French and Hungarian oak barrels at low temperatures. “Elevage” for 9 months in the same barrels (35% new wood) “sur lie”, with “battonage” every 2 weeks , 20% Gouveio aged for nine months in new oak (mostly French with 10% Hungarian)
