The vines grow in Minho on granite-influenced soils. For the Curtimenta version, the hand-harvested, destemmed and lightly pressed grapes are fermented with their skins for 13 days; the wine then matures for ten months in stainless steel and two months in bottle. It remains unfiltered. Tropical fruit and herbal notes are described, along with a powerful, fresh palate with lively acidity, firm structure and a long finish. The information comes from retailer and producer descriptions; a vintage is not clearly established for this bottling.
