Climate and terroir of Vidigueira

Vidigueira, a sub-region in Alentejo, has a warm and dry climate with a cooling influence from the Atlantic Ocean. This ensures optimal ripening of the grapes while maintaining freshness. The soil in the vineyards of Herdade do Sobroso consists mainly of a mixture of loam and clay (franco-argiloso), which contributes to the structure and complexity of the wines.

Grape varieties and vinification of the AnAs Branco 2024

The 2024 AnAs Branco is a blend of three classic Portuguese grape varieties: Antão Vaz, Verdelho and Arinto. Each of these varieties adds a unique element to the flavour profile. Antão Vaz is known for its tropical aromas and structure, Verdelho for its spiciness and fruitiness, and Arinto for its lively acidity and freshness.

The grapes are harvested by hand to ensure the quality of the fruit. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature and lasts for approximately 30 days. After fermentation, a short period of bâtonnage follows, during which the wine rests on the fine lees for added complexity and roundness in the mouth.

Color, aroma and taste of this white Alentejo wine

The AnAs Branco 2024 presents itself clear and light yellow in the glass. The bouquet is fresh, intense and elegant with aromas of citrus, white flowers and subtle tropical notes. In the mouth the wine is lively and refined with a fresh acidity (5.2 g/l), a silky texture and a nice balance between fruit and mineral accents. The wine has an alcohol percentage of 12.5% and is almost dry with only 0.3 grams of residual sugar per liter.
