Climate and Soil
In Alter Pedroso, where the vineyard is located, the climate is typically Mediterranean, characterized by dry and hot summers that allow for optimal maturation of the vines.
With an altitude of approximately 400m, it allows a thermal amplitude of around 15º during the summer between dawn and midday. The soil is clay-limestone which explains the quality, finesse and uniqueness of each of the region's wines.
Harvest and Winemaking
Manual harvest, selected for 15 kg boxes. Total stalking and crushing. Cold static decantation, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 14°- 16ºC.
Subsequent aging under fine lees, in stainless steel tanks until bottling.
Tasting Notes
"Arinto, Alvarinho and a touch of Verdelhogive a crisp wine, with green fruits andlayers of acidity.
It is an attractive wine, fruity and ready to drink from 2024."
