Herdade do Sobroso is located in Vidigueira in the Alentejo region. This is one of the oldest wine regions in Portugal. In the beautiful Alentejo, Herdade do Sobroso has a perfect location with its vineyards located on the banks of the Guadiana River and the Rio dos Patos river or the river of ducks. The trademark is therefore the ducks on the labels. It is the perfect setting for the ripening of the grapes and few vineyards have this luxury and this partly explains why this winery can make very beautiful wines because there is never water debt. In addition to the fact that there is sufficient water, this region is the only one within the Alentejo that has an ocean influence that ensures a healthy ripening.
The herdade do sobroso Sobro Branco is a blend of the typical Portuguese grapes the Antão Vaz, Arinto, Verdelho and the Palomino grape. The grapes were picked by hand. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel vessels with a controlled temperature for 30 days, after which it can continue to feed on its own grounds. The Blanco Sobro (or Branco in Portuguese) has a straw yellow color and is very clear. This Portuguese white wine has a wonderful fresh taste, fresh aromas of citrus and passion fruit. The wine is very elegant wine and is a good balance between the fruit and the acids. A delicious glass for just and strongly recommended with crustaceans and shellfish and with white fish with a little spiciness.
