The Almeida Garrett family built their winery in 1856 in Tortosendo and has been producing quality wine ever since. With the advent of the Republic in the early 20th century, the family emigrated to France and, upon their return, planted the first Chardonnay vines in the region – a variety that has since become emblematic of the family estate. Over the years, the estate has diversified its agricultural production and is today the oldest producer in the region, with around 44 ha of vineyards, now managed by the 4th and 5th generations of the family. Vines aged 35 years, with an average yield of 4,000 kg/ha. Aged for 24 months on fine lees in used French oak barrels with bâtonnage.

25,00€

Delicate, refined and complex aroma with marked minerality. Ripe white fruits, peach and apricot, citrus notes, caramelised peach, toasted caramelised walnuts and hints of honeycomb. Broad and expressive on the attack, opening into a very creamy texture balanced by lively acidity. Stone-fruit flavours return, layered with honeycomb notes. Long, persistent finish.

Serve at 12-14?°C. Ideal with fish and seafood, white meats, smoked fish, foie gras and soft creamy cheeses.
