Production Details A non-vintage blend of wines from different harvests. Grapes are hand-picked, destemmed and crushed, then undergo careful maceration with constant churning during fermentation in stainless-steel vats at 16–18°C. Fermentation is stopped at the desired Baumé by adding grape brandy. The component wines mature in stainless steel and wood for at least three years. Vineyard rows include horizontal terraces and vinha ao alto plantings; elevation reaches up to 600 metres. Recommended serving temperature is 8–10°C.
Tasting Notes Bright golden yellow; intense and elegant aromas of tropical fruit, vanilla and honey; fresh, balanced, appealing and distinctly sweet on the palate.
