Visual: Solar dos Dragos Reserva Branco 2021 presents a bright greenish-yellow hue, demonstrating its youth and freshness.
Aroma: On the nose, it displays a charming aromatic complexity. Initially, notes of stone fruits such as peach and apricot stand out, accompanied by fresh citrus nuances, reminiscent of lemon and grapefruit. The aging in wood gives it additional depth, with subtle aromas of vanilla and toast, well integrated and balanced.
Palate: In the mouth, the wine reveals a captivating and well-defined structure. The vibrant acidity provides freshness and vivacity, harmoniously balancing the volume and creaminess resulting from aging on fine lees. The blend of Arinto, Viosinho, Rabigato and Gouveio results in a rich and complex taste palette, with a creamy and crisp finish that lingers pleasantly.
Conclusion: The Solar dos Dragos Reserva Branco 2021 is a remarkable example, combining technique and terroir in a sublime way. With a great balance between acidity and volume, this wine is an excellent choice to pair with grilled fish dishes, seafood and soft cheeses. The six-month bottle maturation further enhanced its elegance and complexity, making this wine a complete and rewarding sensory experience.
