Winemaker Notes
This wine is made from handpicked grapes from a single parcel planted in the 1980s on clay-limestone in the renowned valley of Óis do Bairro. It is then slowly whole-cluster pressed and spontaneously fermented in neutral 500L pipas in a cold subterranean cellar. There is no batonnage and it is raised 8 months in pipas. Unfined and unfiltered.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
