About the wine:
The Claudia's Branco Reserve 2015 is a blend of 40% Viosinho, 30% Gouveio, 15% Fernão Pires, and 15% Arinto, aged for six months in second-fill oak barrels. Fairly robust on the mid-palate, its greatest strength lies in its subtle combination of depth, finesse, and freshness. It integrates the oak beautifully. Smooth and round, it’s easy to drink—good on its own, but even better with a meal. It finishes with a hint of iron. The concentration is subtle—it doesn’t seem overpowering—but it’s quite present. This Douro Branco is understated, but it hits all the right notes. It hadn’t been bottled yet at the time of the tasting, but this was the final blend.
