More Info
Tasting Notes: This wine presents a light salmon colour and a slight effervescence that favours the release of its fruity aroma. It reveals a great freshness on the mouth, with a vivid acidity resulting in a very pleasant and versatile wine.
The vineyard is located in the sub-region of Amarante, in the Vinhos Verdes region, approximately 10 minutes from the entrance to the Douro region. This sub-region is characterized by granite soils, with some mixtures of shale, and Atlantic influence, producing wines that are markedly mineral, with high freshness and great gastronomic potential.
We focus on growing the fruit: choosing the optimal ripening point, harvesting and manually selecting the grapes by type of wine and carefully transporting them to the winery.
Vinification : The previously selected grapes were de-stemmed and lightly pressed. The extracted juice is decanted by gravity. It then fermented in stainless steel vats with temperature control over two weeks. Before bottling the wine was filtered and stabilized.
Maturation is in stainless steel tanks.
