North- and southeast-facing slopes sit on a transition of schist and granite, a mix winemaker Pedro Coelho points to for the wine's freshness. Douro whites can run broad and soft in a hot climate; this one leans on altitude and old vines for tension instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Clean, vibrant straw in the glass. Contained floral aromas lead on the nose alongside real minerality. The palate carries citrus, green apple and pineapple with a touch of green herbs — good tension, good volume, and the light oxidative, toasty edge that comes from ageing in used oak. Balanced, elegant acidity runs through a medium-long finish. 13% alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Craft:\u003c\/b\u003e Mainly Rabigato, with a small part of old-vine Malvasia Fina. Picked in the first week of September for acidity and balanced ripeness. After hand-sorting and a gentle press, the juice settles for 24 hours at low temperature, then ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeast — no cultured yeast, no temperature control — in used French oak (500L and 228L barrels). It ages on its lees in those same barrels for 10 months, then 2 more in stainless steel, with no battonage. Naturally stabilized and unfined before bottling, so expect some sediment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Pairing:\u003c\/b\u003e Serve at 11–13°C — cool, but warm enough to let the barrel-aged texture show. Good with richer fish, white meats, poultry, risotto, cod, and soft cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pormenor Vinhos","offers":[{"title":"Case of 6","offer_id":49262344306923,"sku":null,"price":360.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2174\/9109\/files\/pormenor-reserva-branco-2023-white_1d230afb-5fd5-4163-a121-b162456a8676.jpg?v=1788440782","url":"https:\/\/cosechaimports.com\/products\/case-of-pormenor-vinhos-branco-reserva-2023","provider":"Cosecha Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
