Herdade Aldeia de Cima 2024 White Reserva
€ 24.94
Let's talk about the rugged landscape of Serra do Mendro that separates Alto and Baixo Alentejo. This geological phenomenon, emerging east-west in the municipality of Vidigueira, forms a natural corridor for the Atlantic winds. Reserva Branco combines the terroir of this land, influenced by the cooler climate and the diversity of the soils, producing a balanced wine, fragrant aromas of linear structure, high density and a fascinating minerality. An aroma with notes of ripe citrus, orange blossom and white plum. The tones of the wood are elegant. Mainly orange peel in the mouth. It is a full, round and harmonious white wine. Aldeia de Cima Reserva Tinto has also received a lot of attention from the press for its beautiful label, which won the prize for 'the best designed label' in 2020
