The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
White wine lovers, take note. This is a crown jewel, indispensable in any wine cellar. A white wine that will make any wine lover's heart beat faster, and the best that Portugal has to offer as a wine country. You read that right. Nothing but superlatives and positive praise for this wine. Because we've become such fans of Terra d'Alter, thanks in part to the Telhas Branco. Pleasant, enjoyable, and above all, superb. This Portuguese white wine has everything you need and everything you're looking for. The Terra d'Alter Blanco is a wine made from 100% Viognier, a grape that is very unusual in the Portuguese wine landscape. However, this grape feels perfectly at home in the bone-dry soils of Alentejo, because it is precisely on dry soils that Viognier produces exceptionally fine wines.
Viognier is a wine of immense character, producing gems among white wines. Terra d'Alter has succeeded in creating such a gem. Or rather, we might call it a crown jewel, because this wine is truly magnificent. The Viognier grapes are hand-harvested early in the morning from the Terra d'Alter vineyards to ensure the highest possible quality. After a rigorous selection process, the wine is pressed. Only the finest juice is good enough for Terra d'Alter Telhas Branco. Before bottling, the white wine is aged for 11 months in oak barrels. That is the secret of this phenomenal wine.
Every sip is a feast. It all begins with the aroma, which practically bursts from your wine glass. Apricots, pear, melon, and acacia combine with hints of vanilla and even honey. The palate is stunning and exceptionally good. You'll taste ripe white and yellow fruit: apricots, white peach, ripe melon, and blossoms. The finish is grand and captivating, with vanilla and honey forming complex flavors that activate your taste buds. A beautiful example of Terra d'Alter's craftsmanship. Because this Telhas Branco is one you won't soon forget.
