Laranja da Madalena 2020

A still white wine crafted exclusively from Baga grapes, showcasing the versatility of this indigenous Portuguese variety. The viticulture for this wine is rooted in sustainable practices, with vines cultivated in the clay-limestone soils of the Bairrada region. These soils contribute to the wine's mineral complexity and vibrant acidity. The grapes are harvested manually to ensure optimal ripeness and quality. Following harvest, the fruit undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving the purity of its aromas and flavors. The wine is then aged for several months on its lees, enhancing its texture and depth while maintaining its freshness.

This wine exemplifies Luis Pato's dedication to crafting expressive and terroir-driven wines that honor the traditions of the Bairrada region.
