Sandeman Apitiv Reserve White Porto

Product description

The Sandeman brand has expanded its portfolio with the addition of a White Reserve. Sandeman Apitiv Reserve is an extraordinary Porto Wine; an intense reserve, with a complexity and fragrance that only the great white Portos of age and quality can aspire to. Sandeman Apitiv Reserve has a golden yellow colour. Its aroma has good intensity, with hints of candied orange zest, floral notes, dry fruits and touches of balsamic resin. The wine's aging in wood adds complexity, harmony and richness. On the palate, it has good balance and well-integrated acidity, with additional notes of dry fruit and an elegant, harmonious and persistent finish. Sandeman Apitiv Reserve is produced following the 'traditional' Porto Wine method. Made from slightly over-ripe grapes that, after destemming and soft-crushing, undergo maceration and alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, where every effort is made to extract the quality inherent in the grape skins. During this phase, the temperature of fermentation and the densities involved are rigorously controlled in order to identify the right moment to add the “aguardente” (neutral grape alcohol at 77%) to arrest fermentation and fortify the wine.
