2022 was an excellent year for the Vinho Verde region. After a very dry year, precipitation towards the end of ripening helped the vineyards recover from water stress. Daily ripeness checks allowed us to find the perfect time to harvest, taking into account the grapes' best aromatic potential. The wines are very aromatic, citrusy, and with an intrinsic minerality. On the palate, they are fresh, persistent, and gastronomic.
Color: lemon-yellow with a golden halo. | Aroma: delicate smoky notes of honeysuckle with citrus nuances of lime blossom. | Taste: on the palate, it presents touches of fresh grapefruit, enveloped by the creaminess from the oak aging. A very elegant wine with a long and persistent finish.
10º and 12ºC
