| Tone: Clear and bright with citrine yellow tones and a greenish tint | Tasting Notes - Aroma: Aromatically expressive with prominent notes of ripe yellow-pulped fruit and hints of flowers. Soft touches of ripe tropical fruit |
| Tasting Notes - Palate: Excellent volume on the palate, balanced by an integrated and natural acidity. A balanced and gastronomic finish | Vintage / Winemaking: The Gouveio and Encruzado grape varieties were vinified separately. The grapes were unloaded from 20kg boxes and proceeded directly to destemming and soft-crushing. After being pressed, the must was subject to static decanting. The wines were subsequently transferred to stainless steel tanks. 10% of the Encruzado must fermented in used French oak barrels, while the rest remained in stainless steel tanks. The Gouveio fermented in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation took place at 18ºC for a period of around 20 days |
