Wine Details

Defesa White 2022 6x75cl

Alentejo

Hints of citrus fruits, white fruits, apricot, and mango aromas are followed by fresh palate with an excellent intensity of fruit and a rich, juicy and balanced finish.

Vineyards

From 20-years-old vineyards planted on granitic, schist soils with open clay structure.

Vintage

The 2022 agricultural year was a dry year. During the vegetative rest period (autumn-winter) and spring, there were mild temperatures and low precipitation values. In the vineyard, bud break was early, as in the previous year, and moderate temperatures s anticipated vegetative development. The very high temperatures and the lack of water in the summer contributed to distant maturation between the varieties, resulting in a precision harvest with a special focus on the expression of each variety.

Winemaking

De-stemmed, chilled grapes are pressed and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel vats.
