Type
DOC DOURO
Grape Varieties
Rabigato, Viosinho and Arinto
Grape Origin
The grapes came from our owned vineyards located in Cima Corgo.
Vinification
Manual harvest for boxes of 25 kg, selected, de-stemmed and pressed at the cellar entrance. After static decanting at low temperatures the wort is sent to french oak barrels where it ferments and steams for about 6 months, subject to a “battonnage” period, after which it is bottled, followed by a prolonged stage of ageing in bottle.
Tasting notes
Citrus yellow pale color. This wine presents a great character with mineral notes and intense citrus aromas with great complexity. On palate, it reveals a great elegance with a vibrant acidity and excellent balance with a powerful and surprising end.
