Description

Reviews and awards:
91 points Wine Magazine;
17 points Grandes Escolhas Wine.

Light citrine color. Very exuberant aroma with notes of tropical fruits, particularly passion fruit. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with the passion fruit notes standing out in harmony with citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon. Acidity very well balanced by aging in wood, which provides complexity and some creaminess. Long and very persistent finish.

Winemaking:
Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are destemmed and immediately cooled. Gentle pressing at low temperatures, followed by cold static settling for 3 days, with lees stirring within the first 24 hours. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature between 14-15ºC. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine aged for 6 months on its lees with frequent batonnage. Part of the batch aged in used French oak barrels.
