The vineyards that produced this wine are planted in the heart of Vidigueira, at the southern foot of the Serra do Mendro, on schist soils with sandy loam and loam textures. The traditional grape varieties, mainly Roupeiro, Antão Vaz and Gouveio, were hand-picked and trodden by foot in a wine press for 2 days. When fermentation began spontaneously, the grapes were pressed and the must was kept in traditional amphorae and used oak barrels until the end of alcoholic fermentation. The 8-month ageing period was carried out in the fermentation barrels, which were filled with amphorae, on their entire lees, with light stirring every month.
Lemon colour, with green highlights. Complex citrus aroma with typical notes of stone fruit and white pulp. In the mouth, it has the presence and reactivity of tannins from partial fermentation, which give it freshness and texture. Harmonious, dense and broad, it calls for rich dishes on the table in winter, and long, warm nights in summer.
