Quinta do Cardo Vinha do Lomedo Branco 2021

The Quinta do Cardo Vinha do Lomedo Branco 2021 is a distinguished white wine from the Beira Interior region of Portugal. Produced by Quinta do Cardo, this wine originates from the estate's oldest vineyard, Vinha do Lomedo, which is over 50 years old and situated at an altitude of 730 meters. The vineyard is predominantly planted with the indigenous Síria grape variety, accounting for 95% of the vines, with the remaining 5% comprising Fonte Cal, Arinto, and Moscatel Galego.

Winemaking and Aging

The grapes for this wine were hand-harvested from organically farmed vines. After pressing, the must underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine was then aged in an old 3,000-liter barrel, contributing to its complexity and depth.

Tasting Notes

  • Color: Pale straw yellow.

  • Aroma: Impressive aroma, with the typical austerity of old vines, notes of flint and gunpowder alongside flowers and citrus peel.

  • Temperature: Serve between 10-12°C (50-54°F) to fully appreciate its aromatic profile and freshness.
