VARIETIES: 100% Avesso
COLOR: Bright, clean, citrus-lemon color
NOSE: Intensely fresh with subtle mineral character. Notes of zesty, citric fruits and meadow flowers.
PALATE: Dry and elegant. Nicely balanced acidity and fruity, yet with a strength typical of the sunsoaked “Douro Verde” region (the southernmost part of the Vinho Verde region where vineyards also profit from the hotter climate of the Douro river).
WINEMAKING: No enzymes used. Spontaneous fermentation. Fining with Bentonite when necessary. Light filtration. Hand-picking plot-by-plot, allowing for the right grapes to be picked at the right time. Transport in small boxes. Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Aged sur lies until mid-January.
