IDENTITY: Very gastronomic woody white resulting from typically Portuguese grape varieties in which each one plays a key role: Antão Vaz - Alentejo typicity, Verdelho - exuberance and exotic fruit, Arinto - acidity.
ALCOHOL: 12,5%.
NOMINATION: Alentejo Regional Wine - Reserve
VITICULTURE: All our grapes come from the highest quality vineyards of the Alentejo region in southern Portugal. Farming is sustainable, production is controlled and quality is improved by removing secondary branches and pruning bunches. The vines are grown on very poor soils of schist or granite origin, naturally giving rise to very concentrated grapes. The aromatic profile is further enhanced by cultural practices such as defoliation, topping and weeding of green bunches.
VINIFICATION AND AGING: Selective manual harvest in 20 kg boxes. Transportation to the winery in cold storage truck. Direct pressing without crushing, with natural defecation. The alcoholic fermentation took place at 12ºC in barrels with battonage.
