2024 Herdade do Sobroso Branco

Herdade do Sobroso is located in Vidigueira in the Alentejo region. This is one of the oldest wine regions in Portugal. In the beautiful Alentejo, Herdade do Sobroso has a perfect location with its vineyards located on the banks of the Guadiana River and its tributary Rio dos Patos or the river of the ducks. The trademark is therefore the ducks on the labels. It is the perfect setting for ripening the grapes and only a few vineyards have this luxury and this partly explains why this winery can make very fine wines because there is never a water debt. In addition to the fact that there is sufficient water, this region is the only one within the Alentejo that has the influence of the ocean that ensures healthy ripening.

The Herdade do Sobroso Sobro Branco is a blend of the typical Portuguese grapes Antão Vaz, Arinto, Verdelho and the Palomino grape. The grapes were picked by hand. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats with a controlled temperature for 30 days after which it can further mature on its own lees. The Blanco Sobro (or Branco in Portuguese) has a straw yellow color and is very clear. This Portuguese white wine is wonderfully fresh in taste, fresh aromas of citrus and passion fruit. The wine is a very elegant wine and is a good balance between the fruit and the acids. A delicious glass for just like that and highly recommended with shellfish and white fish with some spiciness.
