Vineyards

Sourced from select vineyards around Portugal to deliver a consistent blend.

Vintage

Temperatures in 2020 were slightly higher than the average of the last 21 years, while rainfall was identical to the values recorded in the same period. Winter and spring were mild and rainy, allowing a healthy replenishment of the vines’ water reserves, which resulted in good vegetative growth compared with 2019. The summer was very hot and dry, presenting high temperatures in July, namely 3.1‰C above the monthly average in 2019. The high temperatures led us to begin the harvest around 2 weeks early. The weather conditions in the veraison phase made the grapes ripen gradually, which enabled a selective harvest that maximised the expression and quality of each grape variety

Winemaking

Individual grape varieties were processed and fermented separately and then blended. The resulting wine is rested in tanks for few months before bottling.

Enjoy with:

• Grilled and Roasted White Meats
• Fish/Shellfish
• Pizza/Pasta
• Salads and Picnics
• Mild Creamy Cheeses

Great as an aperitif, salads or grilled fish.
