Viticulture

Vines are estate grown and sit south-facing in the vineyard at an elevation range of 1000-2000m. The vines are pruned 2x/year to maintain healthy growth. At harvest, grapes are selected by hand and yield 4 tons/acre on average.

Vineyard

Vineyards are located throughout the sub-region of Amarante within Vinho Verde; a brief 40 minutes from Oporto and 15 minutes from the entrance to Douro Valley. Because of this location at higher altitude, the vines enjoy a diverse microclimate and distinctive terroir. Wide swings between day and night temperatures result in longer hang time and more even ripening for the grapes.

Vinification

The selected grapes are de-stemmed and slightly pressed. The juice is then extracted and decanted by gravity. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks for 15 days. Before bottling the wine is filtered and stabilized.
Residual Sugar: 10 g/L
