Alcohol: 12.5% vol              

Producer Notes:  Alvarinho cames from Monção and Melgaço for the structure and body.  The Loureiro is from the vineyards in Lima with the Atlantic influence which provides the freshness and salinity and the floral perfume typical of the grape variety. The Avesso grapes are from the Baião region which provides the  minerality and acidity. The grape bunches were destemmed and the grapes macerated for 48 -72 hours, preceded by light pressing. Fermented at controlled temperature (14º-18ºC).  Minimum 3 months aging on fine less with regular batonnage. 

Tasting Notes: Citrus and fruity aromas, sweet citrus  fruits like tangerine and green apple.  On the palate it’s fresh and

full of minerality, the acidity provides body and structure. The finish is long and persistent.
