Quinta Vale Dona Maria Vinha de Martim 2017 Branco
€ 70.00
This field blend has been oak fermented and aged, giving a wine that is rich while keeping a corner of freshness from the high-altitude vineyard at 1,300-feet. Named after the small village of Martim, the wine has layers of tangy flavors combined with toast and strong minerality. It's a wine for aging, so don't drink before 2021 (c) WineEnthusiast
In 2015 they began exploring a unique vineyard, with an average age of over 80 years and with a huge diversity of white grape varieties. Vale D. Maria Vinha de Martim Douro Branco shows the unique and differentiated character of the different plots of old vines that are spread across the Douro. The feeling is to express in this wine the Douro that we have known for many centuries.

Fermentado em barrica, 50% de primeiro ano. Aroma a pedir decantação, algo fechado, percepção de enorme juventude, complexidade e poder de atração, todo mineral e com leve citrino muito bonito. Prova de boca enorme, largo e intenso, acidez alta e crocante, tremendamente saboroso, quase salino, irá evoluir durante muitos anos. Grande branco!
