Drink Me Douro Branco 75cl
Description |
The storyboard label for this wine was the creation of Steven Appleby, Canadian born cartoonist who is known for many drawings especially in The Guardian and Sunday Telegraph.
Vineyard burst was uncommonly early in 2011, and all the cycle was anticipated with harvest starting earlier than ever. Nevertheless higher planted vineyards went slower than the others, and when harvest finished all the wines presented a good quantity of malic acid, which is a very important requirement for a fresh palate in the white wines that don’t undergo malolactic fermentation. Harvest begun in the end of August, and after a quick pressing without any skin contact, the juice settled for 24h. Fermentation was made in stainless steel vats (75%) and French oak barrels (25%). The wine aged in these two types of containers for 7 months with fine lees, without steering and without malolactic fermentation. |
Tasting notes |
Citric coloured wine, with intense mineral character and strong citric aromas, peaches and white flower notes. On the palate shows great balance and complexity, with juicy stone fruit flavours, and a refreshing acidity. Very long and salty aftertaste. |
