Cortes de Cima

2023 Chaminé Branco

Vinho Regional Alentejano Biológico
A blend of 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Alvarinho, 20% Moscatel, 5% Loureiro
White wine

Bright, vibrant with tropical notes of pineapple, lychee, and guava intermingled with fresh lemongrass. The juicy fruit driven palate is quite textural, with a crunchy acidity and a lingering saline finish.

Site: From our vineyards located just 3km from the Atlantic Ocean, near Vila Nova de Milfontes.
Farming: Regenerative organic
Soil: Sandy, silty gravels
Vinification: Handpicked and transported in a cool truck to the winery in Vidigueira. Hand sorted and slowly whole-bunch pressed, after a light decantation it fermented using indigenous yeast in stainless steel tanks.  The Moscatel fermented with the skins, in inox and in talha (local amphora) before pressing and blending. Full malolactic conversion was allowed to happen.
Aging: 14 months on fine lees in stainless steel tank
