«Wine production at CASA DO VALLE dates back to the 18th century although estate bottling started only from 1989.
It is with great pride that, in 2009, we launch the CASA DO VALLE - GRANDE ESCOLHA to celebrate the 20 years of the first bottling under the our own brand.»
Tasting Notes:
From the careful selection of the best grapes from our vineyards we obtained a bright, pale straw colored wine, with an exuberant floral and tropical (passion fruit and melon) driven aroma and a lot of minerality. On the palate the structure makes this wine complex, mineral, round, fresh and with a long, appealing and invigorating finish.
Recommendations:
Given its freshness and elegance this wine is particularly suited both for relaxed and informal environments as well as the perfect company for a meal bringing out the best of fish, seafood, salads, Indian cuisine as well as light meat dishes
Conservation: Up to six years after bottling
Recommended Serving Temperature: 10 -12 C
