Quinta do Vesúvio DOC 2009 Red
93,99 €
Aged for 13 months in new 400L French oak barrels. In 2009, after yet another dry winter, hot summer conditions clearly indicated that an early harvest was likely and good weather and considerable heat throughout the final ripening period brought one of the earliest harvests at Quinta do Vesuvio. The combination of drought and very hot temperatures in August and September set the stage for a challenging crop. In fact, this was one of the smallest vintages in the Douro over the last 15 years, with some of the region’s main varietals failing in some areas under the difficult conditions. Contains sulfites.

Granito Cru Alvarinho White
23,49 €
Granito Cru Alvarinho White is a true expression of the soil, the vineyard and the region of Melgaço, Paderne. This wine is created through minimalist winemaking, avoiding commercial yeasts or bacteria and using only sulfur dioxide in very small quantities. Taking inspiration from traditional methods, it ferments and ages in old wood, revealing the pure essence of its ancient vineyards, located between 50 and 150 meters above sea level.
Without adding sulfur, the grapes are delicately crushed and de-stemmed, followed by decantation at low temperature. Natural fermentation in oval Slovenian oak barrels, and complete malolactic fermentation without sulfur, enrich this wine, which then rests in stainless steel before being carefully bottled.
Presenting a golden color, Granito Cru Alvarinho White surprises with its mineral profile, aromas of stone fruits, pear, orange blossom, honey and a light white pepper. In the mouth, it stands out for its freshness and balance, with harmoniously integrated wood, culminating in a long and deep finish. This is a wine that celebrates nature and tradition, ready to reveal its greatness.
