A tannic white wine with four months of maceration. Hand-harvested from select Moscatel Galego grapes from 40-year-old vineyards.
The vineyards are located in the Cima-Corgo (Alijó) sub-region at an average altitude of 600 meters and grow on slate and granite soils.
Winemaking:
- The grapes are harvested in early September.
- Whole grapes ferment spontaneously in cement tanks, without mechanical extraction.
- Maceration on the skins for 4 months. Pressed at the end of January.
- No SO2 addition, no fining or filtration.
- Bottled in February 2024
Intense opal yellow color. The wine displays an intense concentration of aromas with notes of rose petals, lychee, and mandarin oranges. The medium-bodied palate displays some tannin tension and medium acidity, leading to a long, persistent finish.
Serve chilled, between 10-12°C. A complex and mysterious wine full of structure, perfect for intense gastronomy.
