White Wine

Pai Horácio

Grand Reserve 2021, 75cl

Douro DOC

Pai Horácio

Concept: A blend of the best varietal wines from each harvest to honor the company’s founder.

Vineyard Altitude: 160 to 650 m.

Soil: Schist and Schist/Granite.

Vinification: Full destemming, crushing, and pressing under an inert atmosphere to preserve the grapes’ full aromatic potential. The entire wine fermented in French oak barrels for 6 months, with fine lees stirring, or bâtonnage, until the final blend was prepared.

Serving Recommendations: Serve at 10ºC, though it reaches its full potential after 15 minutes as the temperature rises slightly and the wine breathes. Ideal for delicate fish and seafood dishes, though it pairs equally well with poultry and rabbit dishes.

Allergens information

Vinilourenço

VINILOURENÇO has its headquarters in the Upper Douro, in the village of Poço do Canto, near the city of Meda. It was created with the mission of transforming and boosting the production of the vines that began to be planted in the 80’s by Horácio Lourenço, after his return from Angola. His passion for wine led him to develop his heritage. The concept of “Quinta” does not apply to the 45 existing Hectares due to their different locations, Poço do Canto, Vale da Teja and Pocinho. The disadvantage of the higher cost of production is balanced by the greater diversity allowing to take full advantage of all the properties with altitudes ranging from 180m to 700m. The soils are Schist in the lower areas and Schist/Granite in the higher areas. The differences in climate, location, altitude and soil, combined with the same grape varieties planted in different territories, allow the creation of distinct wines avoiding the common standardization. From 2006 Jorge Lourenço creates VINILOURE with the precious help of his father Horácio Lourenço.
