83% Fernão Pires, 17% Verdelho 2019
Certified Organic
Bottled after 6 months in tank in order to maintain its aromatic potential.
Pale citric yellow. Expressive aromatic floral notes and a touch of tropical passionfruit and lychee. The freshness dominates with a hint of minerality, rounder in the mouth but with balancing acidity.

Viticulture /Winemaking
The grapes were handpicked in two stages, with a weekly interval, in order to retain acidity and freshness on one end and richness and fruit on the other. Grapes arrive to the winery in 20kg boxes. Smooth pressing of whole bunches by pneumatic press to extract the best must, which is allowed to settle for one day at 7°C to decant the best juice. Fermented in steel vats at very low temperatures (12/13°C). The two lots were blended after completion of fermentation.
