Quinta da Caldeirinha's Tarika Vinha Velha Branco is a premium white wine that showcases the exceptional viticulture and winemaking practices of the Douro Valley. Sourced from carefully tended vineyards situated on steep slopes, the grapes for this wine benefit from the region's unique terroir, characterized by its schist soils and microclimate. The blend comprises indigenous grape varieties, including Malvasia Fina, Viosinho, and Gouveio, each contributing distinct characteristics to the final product. The grapes are meticulously harvested by hand, ensuring optimal ripeness and preserving their delicate flavors. Traditional winemaking techniques are employed in the cellar, including gently pressing to extract the juice without damaging the grape skins. The wine is then fermented in stainless steel tanks, preserving its freshness and aromatic profile. Tarika Vinha Velha Branco is a complex and elegant wine with a bright acidity and a refreshing palate. It offers aromas of citrus fruits, white flowers, and a touch of minerality. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, developing additional depth and complexity. This wine is perfect for enjoying alone or pairing with seafood dishes or light appetizers.
