2025 Herdade do Sobroso Reserva Branco

The Herdade do Sobroso Reserva Branco is made from 100% Antão Vaz grapes. For this wine, the winery pays very close attention to the exact moment of ripeness of the grapes. And when this moment arrives, the grapes are hand-picked, then destemmed and lightly crushed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 25 days, after which the wine is allowed to further mature in oak barrels for 6 months "Sur Lie" and undergoes a period of bottle aging.

The Sobro Branco Reserva Branco (Barrique Select) has a clear color in the glass with a very light green/yellow tinge. On the nose, fresh notes of flowers and tropical fruits. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, somewhat spicy, and very layered, with the complexity of the Antão Vaz giving the wine extra freshness and intensity. This wine reflects the terroir of Alentejo. This is a true terroir wine and is a fine gastronomic glass to accompany refined fish such as sea bream, tuna, or grilled turbot. It is also a magnificent wine that pairs perfectly with creamy sauces accompanying rich fish dishes and mature cheeses.

Certified wine expert and culinary journalist Anne-Wies van Oosten recommends this wine with a bouillabaisse featuring red snapper, cod, sea bass, shelled mussels, prawns, and raw squid rings.
