Winemaking notes
Vinification took place at the Quinta de Azevedo winery, where gentle destemming helped to preserve the inherent characteristics of the grapes. The must was treated at controlled temperatures and protected from oxidation by the use of inert gases. Soft crushing in a pneumatic press followed with some pre-fermentative maceration. Alcoholic fermentation took place at temperatures between 16ºC-18ºC
Tasting notes
Clear and bright with citrine-yellow tones. This wine has an aroma with fresh notes of citrus and wild white flowers. On the palate, it has hints of stone (white peach) and citrus fruit, good volume and texture, and a well-integrated acidity that is both firm and fresh. It has a balanced and refreshing finish
Pairing notes
This wine pairs wonderfully with fish dishes, sushi, fresh salads and seafood, and it is an ideal aperitif. Its fresh character is also perfectly suited to drinking outside of mealtimes
