Exam Notes

Aroma: A wine with fresh aromas, citrus and light fruit, combined with distinct mineral notes typical of the ENCRUZADO grape variety.

Taste: On the palate, it is characterized by its minerality and acidity. It underwent only natural stabilization and light filtration before bottling.

Pairing: It can accompany various types of dishes, such as seafood, all fish dishes, or even lighter meat dishes.

Service: Serve at 10ºC

Storage: Bottles should be stored horizontally in a dark, clean, well-ventilated place with normal, moderate temperature and constant humidity conditions.

Winemaking: For this wine we use amphorae or clay amphorae, a narrow-mouthed, bulbous earthenware vessel, a typical system for storing water and wine already used in Roman times. The harvest is done by hand and the grapes are transported to the winery in small boxes. After partial destemming and cold crushing, the grapes, with their skins, go to fermentation in very old amphorae, each with a capacity of 1000 liters, where we control the temperature until the end of alcoholic fermentation. The wine then remains in the same amphorae in contact with the skins for another 3 to 4 months. After this period, the wine is removed and kept in stainless steel until bottling, when it undergoes only a light fining with mineral agents and then a light filtration immediately before bottling in order to preserve its full potential.

Aging: Due to the fermentation process, we have a white wine that can be drunk now, but also has the potential to age well in the bottle.
