Vinha do Landeiro Reserva 2022

Alcohol: 13.5% vol

Description

Produced at Quinta do Tamariz, in the Vinhos Verdes Demarcated Region (IGP Minho), Vinha do Landeiro Reserva 2022 is a limited edition white wine (6,364 bottles) crafted from a blend of Arinto, Alvarinho, and Loureiro grapes.

Harvested manually in small boxes to preserve the fruit, the grapes underwent 90% destemming, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel vats at 14–16ºC for 10 days. After maturation, the wine was aged together in stainless steel, preserving freshness and purity of expression.

The 2022 vintage began with high spring temperatures leading to early flowering. A mild summer with little northern wind allowed a complete and balanced transformation of sugars into alcohol. Bottled in May 2023, this Reserva showcases both complexity and finesse.
