Description

The Plansel Selecta Reserva Branco 2023 reflects Plansel’s vision for great Alentejo white wines: wines with Portuguese identity, precision, elegance, and a strong gastronomic character.

Crafted exclusively from Portuguese white grape varieties, this wine is born from a viticulture focused on balance and authentic terroir expression. Even under the demanding climate of Alentejo, the constant pursuit of freshness, tension, and depth results in a vibrant and sophisticated white wine.

The blend of Viosinho and Gouveio is particularly harmonious. These high-altitude grape varieties are known for their natural acidity, structure, and aromatic delicacy, creating a fresh, elegant, and food-friendly wine.

Fermentation and ageing in French oak barrels add complexity, creaminess, and texture to the palate while preserving the purity of the fruit and the identity of the grape varieties. The result is a refined white wine with elegant texture and a persistent finish.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, it displays seductive aromas of ripe exotic fruit, highlighted by notes of banana and subtle hints of honey.

On the palate, it shows remarkable balance and sophistication: citrus freshness blends seamlessly with an elegant structure and delicate buttery nuances derived from oak ageing. The finish is long, persistent, and harmonious.

An ideal wine to pair with seafood, grilled fish, and medium-aged cheeses.
