Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
Two northern Portuguese white grapes grown on the Alentejo coast near Vila Nova de Milfontes, on sandy, silty-gravel soils with full Atlantic exposure — a very different proposition from the warm inland Alentejo the estate is known for. Roughly three-quarters Alvarinho to a quarter Loureiro, hand-picked, fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in oak, then aged on lees in large Slovenian foudre and used French barrels before resting in steel. Sage and waxy floral notes over lemon pith, citrus and a pronounced saline, sea-spray minerality. Medium-bodied and creamy in texture but low in alcohol and vividly fresh.
