Quinta de Azevedo Loureiro Escolha White

Quinta de Azevedo Loureiro Escolha White

The Quinta de Azevedo, a property of exceptional historical value with origins dating back to the 12th century, is located in Northern Portugal, near the Cávado River. This Quinta de Azevedo Loureiro Escolha White comes from a unique terroir with schist soils, where the monumental 16th-century tower stands witness to the production of wines that blend tradition with contemporary elegance.

The winemaking process focuses on preserving freshness, featuring gentle pressing at low temperatures and cold static decanting. The complexity of this wine is enhanced by 6 months of aging on fine lees with frequent batonnage, while 15% of the blend aged in used French oak barrels, granting it a creamy and distinct texture.
