Production Details The blend comprised four equal components. One Fernão Pires portion was placed whole-bunch in tank, foot-stomped and allowed to ferment spontaneously. A second Fernão Pires portion was destemmed and fermented with its skins. The Grenache Blanc was likewise destemmed and fermented with skins. The Palomino fermented whole-bunch, with skins and stems, in a 1,600-litre clay amphora. The producer attributes the wine's darker, orange-toned appearance and floral character to this skin fermentation.
