The Quinta dos Termos White Fonte Cal Reserva is produced in the D.O.C. Beira Interior region, sub-region Cova da Beira, from the Fonte Cal grape variety, an exclusive variety of the region. This wine is the result of a partnership with PORVID and the technical support of the Ministry of Agriculture and ISA, with the only Fonte Cal recovery and enhancement field being established at Quinta dos Termos.The grapes are grown in granitic soils of low fertility, which provides a balanced ripening process, ideal for producing fresh, complex wines. After manual harvesting in 15 kg boxes, the grapes undergo crushing and total destemming with protection against premature oxidation. Clarification occurs for 18 hours, and fermentation is controlled between 20°C and 22°C, followed by aging in stainless steel.This wine presents a citrine colour with greenish highlights and a fruity aroma, with a slight floral note reminiscent of Cardo Serrano. On the palate, it is very flavorful, with elegant acidity and an enchanting freshness.Best served between 8-10°C, it pairs wonderfully with strong fish dishes, bacalhau, and polvo à lagareiro.
