Adega Mayor Antão Vaz White
Coming from selected vineyard plots, the grapes were harvested manually into 15 kg boxes. Upon arrival at the cellar, the bunches were manually selected, immediately destemmed and crushed into stainless steel vats. After 48 hours of cold maceration and skin extraction, the grapes were gently pressed and the natural static decanting process was carried out, which leads to alcoholic fermentation. After the normal period of fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of around 15ºC, the wine underwent a period of aging in deposit, stabilized and finally bottled. With a limpid aspect and pale straw-coloured tones, it is a wine with intense and inviting aromas. The freshness of the nose suggests exotic fruit, where notes of ripe pineapple and passion flower stand out. In the mouth it enters light and discreet, evolving into a complex mixture of fresh fruits. A set full of harmony where tension, structure and mouth volume are in harmony. The well-integrated acidity confirms the pleasant sensation of balance and leads us to a long and persistent finish. A fresh and lively Antão Vaz. Contains sulfites.
