A fresh and structured white wine with a great gastronomic profile. It is an excellent companion for richer and more intense fish dishes or, preferably, for white meat dishes with a hint of exotism

Critics & Awards

4,1/5 - Vivino (100 ratings)

17,5/20 - Grandes Escolhas Tasted: Jul 2024

Grapes from the Serra de São Mamede (2.2 hectares) from 70-year-old vines comprising a multitude of grape varieties. Half of the must is fermented in stainless steel, while the remainder is fermented in new and used 500-liter barrels. The aroma is highly refined, featuring delicate fruit notes and good complexity. On the palate, a sense of freshness is complemented by nuances derived from the oak. The wine presents itself very well as a cohesive whole.
