Learn More About This Wine

The grapes selected for this wine are from the Senhorim Sub-Region. The age of the vines ranges between 30 and 60 years and are from mostly monovarietal vineyards. Typical grape varieties from the Dao region compose this wine, Encruzado, Bical and Malvasia fina. The choice of the harvest day is decisive for the type of wine he wants to make, harvesting only grapes with great potential.

In order to extract and preserve the primary aromas of the grapes, there is a slow and gentle pressing, settled naturally for 24 hours and fermentation with natural yeasts but temperature controlled. The wine then aged for 11 months in French oak barrels.

The wine has a very fresh, delicate and mineral character. The aroma is austere with notes of stone, over time showing complexity with slight smoked, citrus and floral notes (orange blossom). The French barrel character harmonises and adds slightly creamy and rich mouthfeel and flavours of dried fruits.

Food suggestions: oysters, oven baked fish, poultry and other white meats. Vegetarian: pasta or noodles, dishes with cheese.
