Quinta Dos Carvalhais Reserve White 2020

Quinta dos Carvalhais is the wine brand specialized in producing the best and most flavorful wines of the Dão, constituting the greatest reference in the region - it represents the art, authenticity, and quality of the finest Dão wines. In this Quinta dos Carvalhais Reserva Branco, old regional habits are revived regarding the aging of white wines, when it was common to store them for long periods in old oak barrels. The grapes were received at the winery in 20 Kg boxes, being unloaded directly into the pneumatic press. The musts, properly protected from oxidation, underwent static decantation at low temperature for a period of 24 hours. They were then sent to stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature, where fermentation took place for about 20 days at temperatures not exceeding 16ºC. Aged for 16 months in used barrels (20% 500 liters; 80% 225 liters).
