Covela Fantástico - White Wine

Covela Fantástico - White Wine is a wine from Quinta de Covela, in the Vinho Verde region, produced only in exceptional years. This highly selective approach reflects the ambition to create a white wine of great character, precision and aging potential, resulting from careful work in the vineyard and the winery.

The grapes are harvested manually and transported in small boxes to preserve their integrity. After manual selection of the bunches, a low-temperature skin maceration follows. The wine then ferments and ages in French and Austrian oak barrels for about 19 months, a process that gives it depth, texture, and aromatic complexity.

In the glass, it presents a golden straw color and a complex and elegant nose, with notes of spices, ripe stone fruits, cooked apple, citrus, and balanced toast with hints of cedar. On the palate, it reveals itself as creamy and rich at the beginning, supported by a balanced citric acidity, marked structure, and a long, persistent finish.

It should be served between 14ºC and 16ºC. It pairs very well with firm or fattier fish, such as trout, salmon or turbot, game dishes and soft cheeses with an intense flavor, such as Serra da Estrela cheese. It is also a wine with excellent aging potential.
