Description

Type of wine
White wine made from grapes of Alvarinho
variety produced exclusively in Monção
and Melgaço. The vines are more than 14
years old and have low production with
high levels of acidity and good maturation.
A wine made “the old way” with fermentation
on skins, with more color and more
tannins. It intends to get the maximum
potential from the Alvarinho variety.

Key points
Handpicked grapes into small boxes and
carried to the winery in a short period of
time. Skin maceration followed by fermentation
on skins for some hours. The
fermentation nishes in used, 400-litre
French oak barrels. Undergoes bâtonnage
for 9 months on the whole lees. 12 months
ageing in bottle.

Tasting notes
Complex nose, hay, cinnamon, along with
spicy and mineral aromas. On the palate,
slight herbaceous along with a mineral
component typical from the variety. Great
structure with a fresh acidity along with a
large, evolving and long end.
