Lagoalva Reserve - White Wine

Lagoalva Reserva - White Wine, from Quinta da Lagoalva, is a wine from the Tejo region made from the Arinto and Chardonnay grape varieties. This blend combines two varieties with distinct profiles, vinified separately before being combined, in order to preserve the identity of each and achieve a harmonious and balanced whole.

The grapes are harvested mechanically at night and subjected to pneumatic pressing. The Arinto ferments in stainless steel vats at 16ºC, contributing to the freshness and aromatic expression of the wine. The Chardonnay ferments in new French and American oak barrels, followed by 4 months of aging in barrels with weekly battonage, a process that adds texture, complexity and subtle wood notes.

In the glass, it presents a pale yellow color and a complex aroma of white fruits. On the palate, it reveals notes of pear and apricot, enveloped by a delicate touch of vanilla from the wood. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, fresh and well-balanced, with a structure that makes it versatile at the table. It pairs very well with grilled meats, fish, shellfish and rich cheeses.
