FEATURES

Tasting Notes
The wine has a bright aroma with notes of green apple, lemon and light minerality. The taste is distinguished by citrus accents, as well as light spicy and floral shades, typical of the Albarinho variety. The wine is fresh and has a wonderful balance of fruitiness and acidity, with a long and pleasant finish.

Vineyards
The clusters for this wine are collected from vineyards located in optimal conditions for the Albarinho variety. This variety prefers a cool coastal climate, which allows the grapes to retain their natural acidity and rich aromatic qualities.

Production Method
After harvesting the grapes, the berries are separated from the combs and slightly squeezed in a pneumatic press. The resulting wort is cooled and decanted at low temperatures for 24 hours. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel containers at a temperature of about 16 °C for three weeks, which helps to preserve the aromas of fresh fruit. After fermentation, the wine is aged in the same tanks to maintain its fruity freshness, and then left in a bottle for 6 months before being released to the market.

Fermentation occurs using local yeast, which allows you to maximize the expression of the variety. After fermentation, the wine is amenable to aging in steel tanks to preserve its aromas and freshness.

Food Pairing

wine tasting tips for beginners

Wine is not just a drink — it is a whole experience. Its taste is influenced by serving temperature, the glass, aeration, and even how you take your first sip.

Preparation 🌡️

The right serving temperature is one of the key factors. Red wines 14–18°C, white wines 8–12°C, sparkling wines 6–8°C.

Which glass and how to hold it? 🍷

The best choice is a tulip-shaped glass (350–450 ml) with a narrowed top. Always hold the glass by the stem to avoid warming the wine.

Aeration 💨

Helps open up aromas and flavours. Red wines — 15–40 min before serving, whites and sparkling wines are served immediately after opening.

Quick tip: gently swirl the wine in the glass

Wine Tasting 👄

First sip — small, spread the wine across your palate.

Second sip — assess the balance of sweetness and acidity, fruity and spicy notes.

Aroma 👃

Before sipping, inhale the wine aroma without swirling, then gently swirl and inhale again. Note fruity, spicy, floral and woody notes.
