H.O Reserva Branco

HO RESERVA WHITE 2022 is made from the selection of plots of the Viosinho, Arinto, Rabigato and Verdelho varieties. With a predominance of eastern solar exposure and schist and granite soils, the different plots are located at altitudes ranging from 250 to 400m, which requires strict monitoring of the maturation of the different terroirs and specificities of each variety.

Winemaking After manual harvesting, the grapes are transported in 18 kg capacity boxes so as not to damage the integrity of the bunch. Once in the winery, the boxes are unloaded onto a sorting conveyor belt for the first sorting of the grapes. This was followed by destemming, berry-by-berry selection and crushing of the berries, which were then transported by gravity to a pneumatic press. After clarifying the musts, alcoholic fermentation began in oak barrels at low temperatures of around 16°C, in order to preserve the varietal character of each variety. Alcoholic fermentation took place for approximately 20 days, after which the different components aged for 6 months with periodic bâtonnage.

Tasting Notes HO RESERVA WHITE 2022 is a wine with a nose full of personality, with notes of pear in syrup, lemon meringue, ginger and match head. Complex and with a vibrant freshness, but supported by an enveloping body and texture.
