Made from 100% Loureiro grapes from three vineyards in Ponte de Lima, Barcelos and Braga.
These areas have a very special microclimate with slightly less Atlantic influence than the rest of the region - winters are cold with moderate rainfall and summers are hot and dry.
He now cultivates approximately 5 hectares of vineyards planted on granite and buys some grapes from selected farmers who also work in the same sustainable way and without herbicides.
A charming Loureiro that captivates with its inviting greenish color and expressive bouquet. The meticulous hand-picking and careful transport in small crates form the basis of its exceptional quality.
On the nose, an enchanting floral bouquet unfolds, perfectly highlighting the typical characteristics of the Loureiro grape. Its refreshing character makes it a highly invigorating companion.
The gentle processing - from careful destemming of the grapes to 48 hours of decanting - gives this wine its special finesse.
A versatile accompaniment, it pairs harmoniously with salads, sophisticated fish dishes, white meats, and grilled dishes. It is best enjoyed at 12°C. When properly stored in a cool, dark, and dry place, it has considerable aging potential for up to five years.
His winemaking is low-intervention, he ferments his wines with natural yeasts and, like many of our producers, Márcio Lopes believes that if the fruit is good enough, he will produce quality wines with a balance that reflects his terroir.
This seems to work - his wines are unmistakably fresh and lively and display bright and clear typical varietal aromas.
They are present and pure, with crisp acidity and balanced texture, more than suitable for most seafood and also excellent with creamy sauces.
