Vinification

The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed, and part of them are submitted to pellicular maceration for five hours with temperature control. After being decanted the must is fermented in stainless steel at low temperature. Most of the soil of the Loureiro vines are granitic, with medium grain and rich in quartz, and partially from a schist soil. Partial (10%) passage through wood. The wine ages in the bottle for 6 months. Also available in 1.5L. Bottled in June 2021.
