Special Reserve 2020, 75cl

Douro

Vallegre

Viticulture:
Very old vines from Cima Corgo, planted on traditional terraces with north and south exposure at different altitudes.

Winemaking:
After a rigorous grape selection and destemming, a pre-fermentative skin maceration was carried out, followed by a gentle pressing of the grapes. The must then underwent a settling period before fermenting in new French oak barrels.

Aging:
At the end of alcoholic fermentation, the wine was aged for 12 months in the same barrels, with regular bâtonnage.

Consumption:
Pairs beautifully with fatty fish, cod in its various preparations, stews, and a variety of oriental cuisine. As a natural product, the wine may develop sediment over time.

Residual sugar: 1.3 g/l | pH: 3.22 | Total acidity: 6.05 g/l

Vallegre – Vinhos do Porto

Vallegre – Vinhos do Porto, S.A., is a Portuguese company whose shareholders represent the fifth generation of a family deeply rooted in the Douro region, and which is dedicated to the production of high quality Port Wines and Douro DOC table wines.

It is based at Quinta da Vista Alegre, on the right bank of the Douro river, between the mouth of the river Pinhão and Covas do Douro.

Quinta da Vista Alegre was acquired by the Cunha Barros family in 1965, and incorporated into the Sociedade Agrícola Barros, S.A. Later, in May 1998, the company changed its name to Vallegre – Vinhos do Porto, S.A., resulting from the merging of the names of two of its most important Quintas – Valle Longo and Vista Alegre.

Nowadays, and without ignoring its past and the knowledge acquired and passed down through generations, Vallegre is a dynamic, modern company, that mantains tbe production of the highest quality Port Wines and Douro Doc table wines as its primary aim.
