Winemaking notes
The grapes 45% Rabigato, 20% Viosinho, 15% Arinto, 12% Códega do Larinho, 5% Gouveio, 3% Moscatel are used in the blend. After being destemmed, the grapes were smoothly pressed and the must was clarified by static decanting. The following stage was the alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. The maturation stage was carried out in stainless steel vats for around 6 months, over which the existing blends were subject to numerous tests and analysis in order to improve their quality. After a careful selection, the final blend was made and subjected to a clarification and stabilization treatment prior to bottling.
Viticultural notes
The grapes were sourced from selected varieties from high areas of the Douro Superior sub-region, namely from their owned properties. These elevated areas provide the grapes with the maturation and acidity required for this type of wine.
Tasting notes
A bright citrus colour. The bouquet is intense and complex with notes of white fruits, slightly floral and hints of citrus. On the palate, it presents good volume, firm and well-integrated acidity with hints of white fruits and citrus. The finish is very harmonious
Pairing notes
Ideal as an appetizer or to enjoy with fish dishes and salads.
