Celestino 2016 White Wine

5/ 5

<p></p><p>On the hot plains of the Baixo Alentejo, just a few kilometres from the city of Beja, is one of the oldest wine estates in the region. Its vineyards represent decades of history that Henrique Uva has preserved and farmed for many years and which he always wanted to develop as an independent producer.<br />In 2004, he achieved his dream, with the project that goes by the name of Henrique Uva/Herdade da Mingorra. The Winery is surrounded by 1,400 hectares of a landscape that can be considered exuberant, such is the diversity of plants and fauna, with several river basins forming veritable oases. The Winery is a true place of worship. A place where modernity and functionality can be found alongside indelible traditional techniques.</p>

<p></p> <p>Since its creation in 1942, Sogrape Vinhos has been investing in the main Portuguese wine regions. With a strong presence in Dão, Douro and Vinhos Verdes, entry into Alentejo - the national wine region with the highest growth rates - was natural and inevitable</p>

<p></p><p>Quinta do Mouro Vinha da Gafaria has a bright citrus colour. Delicate aroma, with floral, slightly vegetal notes and very defined white fruit, accompanied by a mineral hint of wet stone. In the tasting it has a surprising structure, with a great medium volume, very mineral and fresh, finishing long and very persistent with a very present acidity</p>

<p>Serving this wine at a temperature of 16º- 18º C is recommended to fully savor its intricate flavors. It is an excellent choice to accompany strong dishes such as game bean stew, duck rice, hare rice, a partridge dish known as "six hundred devils", a Portuguese steak, or even a board of soft cheeses from Azeitão or Serra. The clay soil in which the grapes were grown lends the wine additional complexity. The grapes were harvested manually in September and transported in 10 kg boxes to prevent crushing. The fermentation process took place in a stainless steel vat for three weeks, with the temperature controlled at 24º C. After alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for 28 months in new French oak barrels, followed by additional aging in the bottle.</p>
