Quinta Várzea da Pedra Reserve White 2016
14,90 €
This wine expresses in its essence the freshness, minerality and acidity characteristic of the wines of this region, as well as the potential for complexity and aging conferred by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels.
Citrus-coloured wine with a fine and delicate aroma, smoked notes and very complex. In the mouth, it’s fresh, structured and intense, with a very long aftertaste.

Quinta Várzea da Pedra is a family farm located in Bombarral, the western region of Portugal in the Lisboa wine region.
Since 1910 the pear, grape and wine are produced by the family, who once came to raise cattle and produce cow's milk.
In Quinta's wine cellar are produced DOC Óbidos and IGP Lisboa quality wines that are the result of the selection of the best typical grape varieties, hand-picked in their vineyards, influenced by the climate created between the Atlantic breeze and the Serra do Montejunto.
In Quinta Várzea da Pedra, old traditions are re-created with their eyes on the future. Lives are stories, emotions and sensations that are shared in every drop of wine.
