GRAPES: The grapes were grown in our vineyards in the Douro Superior and include the varieties: Rabigato, Viosinho and Moscatel Galego Branco.

VINIFICATION: The wine is vinified in our Winery, at Quinta das Marvalhas, in the heart of the Douro Superior. The Winery is equipped with the most modern technology, which enables a complete control of temperature, essential on a region of extreme climates.After grapes arrive at the winery, we eliminate clusters which are not in perfect condition following total de-stemming, smooth crushing and skin maceration for about 12 Hours. After this period in inert atmosphere, pressing takes place in a pneumatic press. The wines are clarified for 24 to 48 hours, depending on the variety and state of ripeness of the grapes. Hyperreduction pre-fermentative followed by alcoholic fermentation at 13ºC.

TASTING NOTES: The wine is well balanced, ripe and rounded, mineral and fresh, with delicious flavours of peach and apple with a succulent crisp finish. 

Serve slightly chilled between 8 and 12ºC.
