Matéria-Prima Branco Prova nº8

Once the grapes are picked our aim throughout is to preserve the aromatics and fresh flavours by gentle handling, and by keeping the fruit and juice as cool as possible. Picked early in the morning the grapes are whole bunch pressed as soon as they arrive at the winery and the juice drained off immediately. The juice is then fermented by wild yeasts at 18 to 22ºC in stainless steel, concrete and used french oak. Throughout the process minimal handling and attention to detail, ensure that the delicate aromatics are not compromised. Fermented to dryness, the wines were matured sur lie for 10 months before being blended. Each varietal wine brings unique attributes to the final blend. Rabigato brings citrus fruits and lively acidity. Donzelinho brings lemon, lime and an electric acidity. Once blended the wine was bottled in July 2024.
