VINIFICATION

This wine is the result of a careful vinification by the classic process of "bica aberta", with total destemming. The resulting must decanted statically for 18 hours and fermented in stainless steel tanks with temperature control (16-18ºC) for 14 days. 50% of the blend finished fermentation in restored French oak barrels, where it remained for 7 months in contact with the lees. Blended and bottled in June 2021.

CHARACTERISTICS

In the mouth it is dry, fresh and lively, with citrus (grapefruit) notes and slight toast. It finishes with salt and a spicy touch, slightly vegetal, giving it longevity in the mouth.
