Winemaking 
Planted in a specific Terroir in Herdade do Freixo, the cool winds from Serra d’Ossa allowed for a slow and smooth maturation, preserving all the Alvarinho’s aromatic potential. After general destemming and light pressing, the must was conducted to stainless steel tanks through gravity flow, where it fermented at low temperature. It then rested for 2 months in oak with battonage, ageing in bottle for an additional 3-month period, until all the batch was harmonized.

Tasting

Accompanies traditional fish dishes, sea food, red meats, roasts and oriental cuisine. Combined with vegetarian dishes, it harmonizes the aromas and flavours in a complementary and balanced way.

Mineral aroma. Smooth herbal and spicy notes. Ripe fruit with a cedar touch, tabaco leaves and candied fruit.

In the mouth, it is mellow and with tropical notes, although with a dry finish. It glows with amplitude and persistence.
