The Casa Valduga
Naturelle Gran Reserva Late Harvest embodies - in an iconic manner - the
concept of the most elegant Sweet wine line in Brazilian winemaking. Its
profile is sophisticated, balanced, and reflects nuances and characteristics of
a great wine, crafted with talent, precision, technology, and passion.
Late Harvest is one
of the main methods for producing dessert wines. The technique involves
harvesting the ripest Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewurztraminer grapes
later, when they concentrate even more sugars. The harvest is done manually,
and the selection of the grapes is rigorous to ensure that all are at the ideal
ripeness before moving on to the fermentation stage. Finally, aging in French
oak barrels for 36 months ensures delicacy on the palate and an incredible
aromatic profusion.

- Pairs well with cantuccini biscuits, semi-bitter chocolates, citrus or fruit-based desserts, and dried fruits such as figs, raisins, and apricots. It
Appearance: It presents a golden-amber color, clear and bright.
With abundant tear formation, it indicates the structure that the wine
possesses.
Bouquet: In aroma, it brings notes of candied orange and
apricots, soon permeated by nuances of honey, nuts, floral touches, as well as
spices like vanilla, cloves, and cinnamon. With evolution in the glass,
delicate hints of toasted almonds are revealed.
Palate: It brings a lot of delicacy on the palate, despite
its dense body; elegant, complex, and intense, it is a true nectar that
balances sweetness and acidity. Unctuous and with a lot of mouth volume, it is
an excellent aperitif.
