Monte Meão White

Monte Meão White

Monte Meão White originates from the prestigious Douro region, born from the Vale do Abade and Janeanes vineyards, where schist soils provide a mineral and profound identity. Under the Olazabal family philosophy, this wine reflects a viticultural year of balanced maturation, benefiting from ideal water reserves that allowed an exceptional harmony between freshness and structure.

The production involves careful fermentation in 500-liter barrels from various cooperages, with a 20% component of new wood. To enhance its complexity, half of the blend underwent malolactic fermentation, followed by an 8-month aging period in barrels with periodic batonnage, a technique that grants it a silky and enveloping texture.

Tasting Notes

• Profile: Very full-bodied and structured, revealing discreet wood perfectly integrated into the ensemble.
• Palate: It presents excellent volume, balanced by a vibrant freshness that runs through the entire tasting.
• Finish: Ends with remarkable persistence, in a complex and long finish.

This is a white wine for aging and gastronomy, honoring the Quinta do Vale Meão legacy with elegance and precision.
