Quinta do Quetzal Reserva 2022

Quinta do Quetzal Reserva 2022 is a regional wine from Alentejo, produced in a Mediterranean climate with some continental influence, marked by cold, rainy winters, with rainfall concentrated between October and February, averaging around 700 mm per year, and very hot summers. It is grown on schist soils of medium productivity and steep slopes, which contribute to its concentration and character. Its structure makes it ideal for accompanying intense and structured fish dishes, such as baked cod, less intense red meats and strong cheeses. It can be enjoyed immediately or stored in a cool place away from light.

Vinification: Grapes harvested according to their state of ripeness. After crushing, the must was clarified statically for 48 to 72 hours. Fermentation takes place in new French and American oak barrels at a temperature between 14ºC and 16ºC for a period of 30 days. After fermentation, the wine was aged for a further 6 months in barrels, with weekly bâtonnage.

Tasting Notes: The wine has a slightly golden colour with aromas of tropical fruit, stone fruit and minerals, together with aromas of dried fruit and caramel from the ageing in wood. In the mouth, it is very complex and structured with a freshness that prevails throughout the tasting.

Grape Varieties: 100% Antão Vaz

Winemaker: José Portela
