O Produtor, tasting note published in October 10th 2023
Color: Intense straw with very slight greenish highlights.
Aroma: Lively, intense aroma, revealing some depth. Mature citrus fruits take the lead, with a subtle touch of fresh tropical notes, yellow and white flowers, and a hint of a petroleum-like aroma. A beautiful ensemble enhanced by subtle notes from barrel aging. Mineral.
Palate: Dry and simultaneously silky attack. Very balanced acidity that extends through the finish. Dense yet elegant texture. Citrus and floral explosion.
Persistent and very long finish supported by barrel sensations. Very consistent.
On soils of schist origin, with medium clay content and the presence of quartz, as well as a temperate climate with continental characteristics, this Valle Pradinhos Grande Reserva White is born.
