Bright golden-green. Pronounced aroma of grapefruit and lemon,accompanied by stone fruit such as peach and notes of wet stones. Medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity and a persistent minerality thattranslates into a sapid and refreshing finish.

Atlantic influenced climate, protected by the Caramulo and Bussacomountain ranges. Vineyards planted at high density (5555 plants perhectare) on gentle hills of clay-limestone soils. Completely dry farmed.

Slight cold pre-fermentative maceration. Gentle pressing in apneumatic press. Stainless steel fermentation in batches withtemperature control. About 20% transfered to used 300-liter Frenchoak barrels where fermentation completes and aging begins.Bâtonnage only in the first 4 to 6 months. Malolactic fermentationmay occur in some of the lots. Barrel aging lasts about 12 months,then transfered to stainless steel tanks where the wine remains untilbottling. Only released to the market after some bottle aging forbetter harmony.

Taking advantage of the fabulous clay-limestone soils of our properties in Bairrada andusing the same philosophy used in our best wines, namely dry farmed vineyards and gravitywinemaking, it is possible to obtain a wine that is faithful to the place, authentic, genuine. Infact, a wine that reflects its origin more than its grape varieties, giving value to our qualitymotto: showing the best that Portugal can offer.

Perfect to drink now, but will age beautifully for up to 10 years afterthe harvest.
