Description

Clear and luminous with a youthful, greenish hue. Intense aroma with ripe citrus notes; limes and orange blossom emerge. Refreshing on the palate with aromatic citrus notes and a firm, yet very well-integrated acidity. This wine has a balanced and crisp finish.

16.5 points in the Grandes Escolhas Wine Review.

Winemaking:
The winemaking took place at the Quinta de Azevedo winery. Upon arrival, the grapes were carefully handled and gently destemmed to fully preserve their character. The must was channeled through temperature controls and protected from oxidation by the use of inert gases. This was followed by gentle crushing in a pneumatic press with some pre-fermentation maceration. Alcoholic fermentation took place at temperatures between 16ºC-18ºC, using selected yeasts, particularly the native yeast QA23. This wine aged in stainless steel tanks with "bâtonnage" (stirring of the lees) for 3 months.
