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.
