- Origin
- Vinho Verde, Minho, Portugal
The vines grow in Vila Verde in the Minho on poor, granite-based soils. The wine was fermented on the skins: skin maceration lasted 13 days, followed by twelve months of ageing. Fermentation took place with indigenous yeasts; the wine was neither stabilised nor filtered. Stylistically, this is a powerful, texture-driven white wine, with tropical fruit, herbal notes, lively acidity and firm structure. The long skin contact gives it an orange-wine-like depth. The vintage indication has not been clearly documented. Sources: Senhor Alvarinho, The Lab Porto, Vivino.
