Turonia - Quinta Couselo
The 2017 vintage has been distinguished by the excellent health of the vineyard and the intense heat. Winter and spring were warmer than normal, accelerating the growth cycle 15 days and which was prolonged during summer, bringing forward the date of the harvest to the end of August. The growth cycle went smoothly, with good flowering and no notable pests. In summer, the drought worsened and in August they began to see symptoms of dehydration in the bunches. However, rains at the beginning of September restored the balance of the vineyard. The wines of this vintage are identified by having something more volume due to its warmth and great freshness. A vintage to enjoy young, or as it is the norm for great wines of the area, to save for a few years.

| Review | Expressieve neus van tropische fruit met toch veel citrus en zeste toetsen. In de mond valt direct een mooie ziltigheid op geaccentueerd door frisse zuren en een verrassende molligheid. Middellange afdronk waarbij voor het tropische fruit en zilt blijft hangen. Gebalanceerd. Vooral lekker als aperitief of bij fruits de mer en oesters. Lichtere visgerechten en sushi zijn zeker ook aanraders. ~ J.V.P. |
