Alves de Sousa Reserva Pessoal 2003

Note: The partnership wine4people/partners is based on a strategy of dissemination, admiration and defense of what is best done with wine in this country.

I know people who, only when they see the color of the wine, would declare him dead, without even considering the possibility of putting it to his nose. And what would these people lose! … The color is a light amber, but much more heavily loaded than the white (younger, of course) we are accustomed to drinking. In the nose is intriguing, with sweet notes of flowers and honey mixed with more austere aromas of oil and fine spices. In the mouth it is both warm (full bodied) and fresh, with a fantastic acidity and a surprisingly dry (complex and long) finish, elegantly dressed by unusual mineral notes. Almost 15 years old, it’s there to last! A wine that will not please all palatos (mine is enchanted!) But occupies, by its unique profile, a very special place in the panorama of the whites of the Douro (and of Portugal!), With potential to become an icon as more and more editions are being released to the market.
