Grapes: 100% Alvarinho

The Alvarinho, called Albariño in Spain, is a white grape variety. In the region of Vinho Verde, the grape is the most important, but also in Rias Baixas (Galicia) good wines are produced. The grape has a thick skin and a reasonable yield. The alcohol content of the wines is quite high. The wines have fruity aromas where apple usually has the upper hand. The grape likes a soil of slate or granite

The grapes exclusively from the Alvarinho grape variety for this batch are from the Region of Monção and Melgaço, coming from a single plot, which produces a wine that reveals the most pure and original Alvarinho variety. After the selected harvest, the grapes were destemmed and very softly pressed. Cold clarification followed for a long period. The fermentation occurred in new French oak barrels succeeding a stage for 9 months with regular batonnage, on total lees before filtering and bottling.
