Winemaking and aging
Planted in a specific terroir in Herdade do Freixo, the cool winds from Serra d’Ossa allowed for a slow and smooth maturation, preserving all the Alvarinho’s aromatic potential. After general destemming and light pressing, the must was flows by gravity into the stainless steel vats where it ferments at low temperature. 30% of the batch ferments in oak barrels for 20 days, followed by a 2-month ageing in oak, with batonnage. The batch then rests in stainless steel vats for another 2 months, followed by bottling and maturation in the bottle, until the blend is perfectly harmonized.
Winemaker’s notes
Mineral aroma. Smooth herbal and spicy notes. Ripe fruit with a cedar touch, tobacco leaves and candied fruit. In the mouth, it is mellow and with tropical notes, although with a dry finish. It glows with amplitude and persistence.
