Winemaking Details
Viticulture:
A wet winter and spring, followed by some moisture during flowering brought the freshness necessary to make balanced, elegant wines. The rain during the month of September created some challenges for the winemaking, so extra attention was put on the harvest and selection of the grapes in the vineyards, which was all done by hand.
Fermentation:
Fermented in stainless steel tanks for 5 days, with maceration occurring at up to 28ºC. 100% destemmed grapes. Unfiltered. Bottled in August 2017.
Winemaker:
Cláudia Quevedo
FOOD PAIRING
Chocolate, blue cheese
