Description

Type of wine
Wine made from grapes of Loureiro variety,
from a single vineyard located on
the left bank of the Lima river – Encosta
do Pombal, Quinta da Ferreira. This wine
is the result of our investigation with the
Loureiro variety on the several estates
that we work along the Lima valley, on
both banks of Lima river. This vineyard
has an altitude of 35 meters high, with a
soil of granitic origin but also with some
schist. With this vineyard we are able to
obtain a quite unusual concentration and
expression of the variety, but still keeping
the freshness and pure nose of the variety.

Key points
Handpicked grapes, with a great selection
at the vineyard, into small boxes and
carried to the winery in a short period of
time. Very soft pressing of the whole destemmed
grapes. Long cold clarification.
Fermentation in stainless steel. Ageing on
stainless steel for 9 months with regular
bâtonnage. Ageing on bottle.

Tasting notes
Very delicate floral aroma also showing
fresh hints of herbs (peppermint, sage)
and some soft notes of kerosene/petrol.
On the palate along with untuosity with
some floral notes it also shows a very
stressed and direct/refreshing acidity.
