Branco

The grapes come from several plots at the foot of the Serra da Estrela on granite soils; the vines are around 20 to 70 years old and are harvested by hand. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts in 500- and 225-litre casks as well as in stainless steel, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is matured for twelve months, 30 percent of which is in French oak and 70 percent in stainless steel, before the cuvée spends a further three months in tank. The wine shows clear fruit, floral notes and wet granite, with a fresh, taut, salty yet full-bodied character. It was bottled in December 2023 without fining or filtration.
