2025 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 enjoys a perfect location with its vineyards situated on the banks of the Guadiana River and its tributary, the Rio dos Patos, or the River of the Ducks. Consequently, the ducks on the labels are its trademark. It is the perfect setting for the ripening of the grapes, a luxury few vineyards enjoy. This partly explains why this winery can produce very fine wines, as there is never a water shortage. In addition to the fact that there is sufficient water, this region is the only one within the Alentejo influenced by the ocean, which ensures healthy ripening.

The Herdade do Sobroso Sobro Branco is a blend of typical Portuguese grapes: Antão Vaz, Arinto, Verdelho, and Palomino. The grapes were hand-picked. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 30 days, after which it is allowed to mature on its lees. The Blanco Sobro (or Branco in Portuguese) has a straw-yellow color and is very clear. This Portuguese white wine is delightfully fresh on the palate, with fresh aromas of citrus and passion fruit. The wine is very elegant and strikes a good balance between fruit and acidity. A lovely glass to enjoy on its own and highly recommended with shellfish and white fish varieties with a touch of spice.
