Kissed with honeysuckle and orange blossom, Quinta de Covela's 2013 Reserva Branco is an elegant cuvée of Avesso, Arinto, Chardonnay, and Viognier. Fermented at low temperatures in French and Austrian oak barrels for 14 months, this exceptional blend receives lees contact and it's nicely integrated, lending body, soft texture and balance. Mineral and saline notes gracefully co-mingle with citrus fruit and dried pineapple, meandering to a long, splendid finish. Sample
