2024 Quinta do Pessegueiro Grande Reserva White 3 x 0.75L Douro Region WINEMAKER: João Cabral Nicolau de Almeida. WINE VARIETIES: Rabigato (70%) & Folgasão (30%). VINIFICATION The harvest took place in September, the grapes were transported to the winery in 20 kg boxes, where they were kept in a cold storage for 12h, then partially crushed and conducted to the stainless-steel vats, where the skin maceration was carried out until the beginning of fermentation by indigenous yeasts. Then and after pressing, the wine was placed in 2000 L “foudre”, where it finished the alcoholic fermentation and aged for 8 months on fine lees. It was bottled in May 2025. TASTING NOTES Medium lemon-yellow in colour. On the nose, some notes of tangerine blossom, intertwined with stone fruits, particularly peach and apricot. One the palate, it has a vibrant acidity that highlights the freshness of the blend, combined with the present of discreet oak notes, ensuring a great mouth volume. Dense finish, with excellent freshness revealing a long and persistent aftertaste. HISTORY The philosophy of Roger Zannier's estate combines the wisdom of traditional Douro viticulture with modern scientific knowledge. The sharing of knowledge, the passion, motivation and commitment of the employees, who also cultivate respect for the land and nature, make it possible to improve, vintage after vintage, the quality of the wines of Quinta do Pessegueiro, making it today one of the great Douro wines. The entire vineyard is farmed in a way that respects the natural balance, banishes herbicides and is close to organic farming. We already have 18 ha (60%) certified and the remaining 12 ha, although not certified, are treated in a very similar way to organic. Each plot is cultivated according to the nature of the soil, the slope, the exposure and the varieties that populate it. The horse is also an essential assistant in the work of the espalier vines.
