Description :

Vineyard: 15 - 35 year old vineyards planted on the banks of the Mino River. As is traditional in Ri­as Baixas, these vineyards are all cultivated on traditional pergola that sit 5-6 feet across the ground, promoting air flow and keeping the grapes healthy in this cool and wet climate.
Winemaking: Hand-harvested and stored in small baskets. The grapes are sorted at the winery and pressed after a short cold soak, which prevents oxidation of the must and reduces the amount of SO2 used at the press. Destemmed and whole cluster pressing in a pneumatic press. Inoculated fermentation with neutral yeast in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Six months of aging in stainless steel with battonage. Cold stabilized and lightly filtered.
