Quinta São Gião, Branco Escolha 2024

Family estate from Guimarães, in the Ave sub-region of Vinho Verde. The vineyards are on granite soil, which gives this white wine its fresh, crisp character. At 11.5% alcohol, it's a light, easy-drinking wine.

What you smell
White flowers and citrus. Think lemon and a hint of grapefruit.

What you taste
Fresh and vibrant, with a citrus acidity that keeps the juice taut without becoming sharp. Light-bodied, with a stony undertone from the granite soil and a surprisingly long finish.

How it's made
A blend of Loureiro (50%), Arinto (25%), Trajadura (20%), and Alvarinho (5%). The granite soil provides the mineral tension. Loureiro brings the floral aroma, Arinto the fresh acidity.

Serving
Serve chilled, between 6 and 8 degrees Celsius. Decanting not necessary.

Pairs well with

  • Grilled sardines: the citrus acidity cuts through the fatty fish.
  • Oysters: the stony undertone enhances the salty taste of shellfish.
  • Green salad with goat cheese: the freshness balances the creamy cheese.

Quinta São Gião is een familiebedrijf in Guimarães, de bakermat van Portugal zelf, en maakt sinds 1972 Vinho Verde van eigen druiven. Drie generaties Almeida Freitas hebben het bedrijf gevormd, van oprichting tot de kunst die nu op de etiketten staat.

Vinho Verde is geen druif maar een klimaat: groen, nat en Atlantisch, in het uiterste noordwesten van Portugal. Het levert lichte, prikkelende witte wijnen met weinig alcohol, gemaakt van druiven die verder nergens ter wereld zo worden gebruikt.
