Quinta de Chocapalha Sauvignon Blanc 2023 White Wine
White wine from Quinta de Chocapalha produced by the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety in the region of Lisbon
It all started in 1987 when Alice and Paulo were looking for a property that would be their family's Project and where they could make high quality wine. At Quinta da Chocapalha, all elements of the family have a role in creating the spirit of the project
<p></p><p>Monte Bluna Vital has a straw yellow colour. The aroma is very distinctive, characterised by quality and a remarkable richness of multiple dimensions. It has white-fleshed fruit, delicate floral notes and hints of herbs. The wood is well integrated and brings dried fruit and brioche, all set against a limestone background that lingers in the memory. On the palate it's elegant, exquisite in the balance between the generosity of the body, full of substance and vibrant freshness. The finish is marvellous in its length and envelopment.</p>
<p></p><p>The Companhia Agrícola do Sanguinhal was founded in 1926 by Abel Pereira da Fonseca . Nowadays, this company is dedicated to the exploration of three estates in the demarcated region of Óbidos - Quinta do Sanguinhal, Quinta das Cerejeiras and Quinta de S. Francisco.<br />Located 40 minutes away from Lisbon, these estates represent the most prestigious Óbidos DOC wines.</p>
<p></p> <p>The property of Quinta da Murta, located in the hills of the small demarcated region of Bucelas, is surrounded by one of the main Roman roads that crossed Portugal and very close to the last fortification, Anglo-Portuguese against Napoleon's troops.<br />In Shakespeare's time, Bucelas became popular in England, especially in court. Designated "Charneco", due to the name that is given to the zone of Bucelas, is mentioned by Shakespeare in the second part of the piece Henry VI, published in 1594.<br />The sailors of the caravel S. Gabriel celebrated with wine of Bucelas their return to Portugal, after the discovery of the maritime route to India</p>
<p></p><p>This fortified wine dates back to the 14th century and reached its golden period by the laborious hands and sharp mind of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo - Marquês de Pombal and Conde de Oeiras. Carcavelos' wine ran the world. It entered the most varied cultures. It has even given part of its 'soul' to Port wine in order to give it a 'body' and a superior taste. From this fertile and auspicious period, it fell to levels that without the intervention of the municipality was expected to cease to exist.</p> <p>It took hold and recovered and today, the vineyard continues to produce, on the hillside facing the Tejo, in the land that has always been fertile, shaken by the wind that is typical of us, the grape varieties. In the white, Galego Dourado, the Ratinho, the Arinto, the Rabo-de-Ovelha and the Seara-Nova; in the red, the perfect combination between the castes Castelão, Amostrinha and Trincadeira. Grapes that mixed in the exact measure, like alchemy, gives origin to our generous.</p>
<p></p><p>Casal Sta. Maria is located in the historic region of Colares, on the slopes of Sintra Hill, 2 km from Cabo da Roca − the most Western point in Europe. </p>
<p></p><p>Adega Mãe Bio White Wine shows lively and intense aroma with a predominance of white fruit and citrus freshness in a good aromatic combination of the grape varieties used.</p> <p>Acidity with good freshness on the palate, medium and balanced body enhanced by white fruit and a lively finish with persistence.</p> <p>Ideal with any type of fish and seafood, as well as sushi and salads.</p> <p></p>
