CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 2023 VINTAGE
The viticultural year began with a rather wet winter, followed by mild temperatures until spring. These two conditions
The weather led to early bud break in March. April brought regular rainfall that positively contributed to soil water reserves. Flowering occurred early, at the beginning of May, suggesting an early harvest. June was a difficult month, very hot and humid, with regular thunderstorms and hail affecting the region. Fortunately, Quinta do Noval and Passadouro were not affected by this bad weather. The mild climate of July began to shape the character of this harvest, as it contrasted completely with the record temperatures of last year in the same month. The mild conditions continued in August and led to a slow and regular ripening of the grapes, with less dehydration than in 2020. We harvested the white grapes from August 24th to 27th. The first
The wines produced presented fruity aromas and a pronounced acidity. Overall, we can say that the average quality of the wines produced is quite good. The dry whites are very promising, with a bright color and a good mineral structure on the palate. AGING: The wine was aged in barrels, 20% of which were new, for 6 months. Bâtonnage was performed once a week for 3 months.
