This crisp white is a blend of several traditional white Port grapes such as Malvasia, Codega, Rabigato and Voisinho. The grapes are selected in the vineyard, and hand harvested in the cool of the mornings in small baskets. There is an element of whole bunch and destemmed fruit, pneumatically pressed with the free run juice fermented separately, all in stainless steel vats. After a long slow ferment at a low temperature, the wine is racked into clean tank and aged on fine lees for several months, before bottling.
Light golden straw in colour. Fruity with tropical notes such as apricot, wet stones, green plum and dessert apples. Fresh, with balanced acidity. The perfect wine for a warm summers day with a bowl of green olives. Try with pan fried fish and hearty vegetarian dishes.
