The grapes for this wine come from the upper Douro region and were obtained from Rabigato, Viosinho, Gouveio and a small proportion of older vines.
Winemaking: After hand-harvesting and transport to the winery in small crates (18-20 kg), the grapes were destemmed, fermented, and aged on the fine lees in small stainless steel tanks for approximately 8 months. Vinified in open containers.
Tasting note: This wine has a light aroma of white fruits. It is medium-bodied, fresh on the palate, but with a floral note. Lingering finish.
As a winemaker, Márcio Lopes intervenes only as much as absolutely necessary, trusting as much as possible in the natural processes of winemaking. For example, he ferments his wines exclusively with natural yeasts, and—like many of the producers we work with—he firmly believes that if the grapes are of high quality, he can produce outstanding and harmonious wines that reflect the character of their terroir. And he seems to be doing quite well with this approach: Márcio Lopes' wines are unmistakably fresh and vibrant, characterized without exception by bright and clear varietal aromas. They are present and pure, with crisp acidity and a balanced texture.
This makes the wine the ideal accompaniment to seafood and dishes with creamy sauce.
