Description

Type of wine
White wine made from grapes of Alvarinho
variety coming from a single plot which
produces a wine that reveals Alvarinho at
its purest and most original state.

Vinification
Handpicked grapes into small boxes and
carried to the winery in a short period of
time. Very soft pressing of the whole destemmed
grapes. Long cold clarication.
Fermentation in new 400-litre French
oak barrels. Ageing in these barrels for
9 months with bâtonnage on the whole
lees. 12 months ageing in bottle.

Tasting notes
Complexe and austere nose. Hints of wild
owers and hay along with a delicate
minerality remembering wet stone. Some
hazelnut and vanilla coming from the oak
fermentation and aging. On the palate a
refreshing acidity and verticality. A touch
of smoke ending long and elegant.
