Spontaneous fermentation

The vines grow in Vidigueira on low-yielding soils composed predominantly of granite and schist; the vineyard site is slightly east-facing, with the vine rows running from east to west. The grapes are hand-picked into 12-kg crates, processed with cold skin contact and fermented at 16 °C for around 21 days in small stainless-steel tanks. The wine then matures for five months in tank and two months in bottle. It shows tropical and citrus fruit, floral and mineral notes, fresh, balanced acidity and a good, rather creamy body.
