Quinta do Carmo White

Planted in clayey-schist and sandy loam soils, with low yield potential, the Vicentino grape varieties boast their best attributes. The low productivity imposed by the land will act as a stimulus to the quality of the grapes that are formed, promoting an ideal concentration of organic acids, sugars and phenolic compounds. Achieving this balance between quantity and quality, together with a mild climate, makes it possible to obtain a raw material of excellence. Fermentation in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 14ºC. Aging on fermentation lees for 6 months, followed by 3 months of rest in bottle before being marketed. The wine that most reflects the perfect symbiosis between the Atlantic, the soils and the vineyards is Vicentino Sauvignon Blanc. In this white, the proximity to the sea is reflected in a more vegetal profile, associated with the typical characteristics of the variety, showing light notes of tropical fruits balanced in the mouth by a fresh acidity. These sensations persist on the palate, in a smooth and enveloping taste. Contains sulfites.

50% fermented in used 350 liter French oak barrels and the rest in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 16ºC. Aging on fermentation lees for 6 months, followed by 3 months of rest in bottle before being marketed. With a strong connection to the terroir of Monção, Alvarinho expresses itself in Vicentino respecting its origin in an elegant combination of aromas that characterize it. The vibrant acidity and minerality end in a salty finish, highlighting the proximity to the sea. Contains sulfites.

After manual harvesting, the grapes were quickly sent to the cellar, where they were destemmed and gently pressed. The must, clarified by the cold, fermented slowly for approximately 2 weeks in stainless steel vats, with controlled temperature. With a lemon yellow color and a bright appearance, this is an aromatically discreet wine, of medium intensity, which privileges the notes of green apple, lime and a vegetal character balanced by a pungent minerality. In the mouth it is “full” and vibrant. The finish is persistent and pleasantly confirms the mineral character of the nose. Contains sulfites.
