Product details
The grapes are harvested by hand. After pressing and before fermentation, the must is clarified at a low temperature. We started with a selection of Alvarinho grapes from plots next to the Minho River, in the lower elevations of the Monção and Melgaço valleys. This wine begins fermentation in a French oak foudre and finishes in used 225-liter French oak barrels and a stainless steel egg. In the egg there is a natural bâtonnage and in the barrels it undergoes bâtonnage for 9 months on the finest lees. It ages for 6 months in the bottle.
