Our excellent white Reserva is produced exclusively from pure Antão Vaz grapes from our oldest vineyards. They are picked by hand and processed by gravity in our modern cellar. They ferment in French oak barrels for 6 months and age in our cellars. The result is a complex aroma of tropical fruits, toast and spices.
The wine shows a light golden color with aromas of tropical fruit, stone fruit and minerals, together with aromas of dried fruit and caramel from aging in wood. The structure on the wine allows it to pair well with intense fish dishes, lighter red meat dishes and strong cheeses.
