Description

Type of wine
Pardusco was the name given to the light
colored reds, with low alcohol, which
travelled well and aged well. Back in those
days they didn’t had the denomination of
Vinho Verde and later in time they started
to be known as “Mature wines of Monção”.

Vinification
Hand harvest at a perfect maturation
point. Bunches de-steemed and cold maceration.
Long and controlled fermentation
at a low temperature. Complete malolactic
fermentation.

Tasting notes
Pale ruby color. Aromas of ripe red fruit
and light spices. In the mouth it presents
a vibrant but balanced acidity. A mineral
touch conveys freshness and structure.

Pairing Suggestion
Light red wine that goes well with white
meat dishes and aged cheeses. Duck
rice, chicken stew with creamy tomatoes
and basil and turkey with herb butter
are a perfect match in the company of
Pardusco.
