Type of wine
Loureiro comes from the Lima subregion, the place of Loureiro grape variety. This region has granitic soils, deep and poor in organic matter. The vineyards are in half-hillside with a south-facing aspect along the sides of the Lima River receiving therefore all the freshness from the Atlantic Ocean. This influence determines the freshness and aromatic exuberance of the wine. This terroir provides in this way a wine full of freshness with a crystalline acidity and a marked salinity.
Key points
Handpicked grapes into small boxes and carried to the winery, in a refrigerated environment, for a short period of time. Pressing of the whole de-stemmed grape. Cold clarification for 48-72h. Long fermentation at low temperatures of 14-18ºC. Minimum 4-month ageing on fine lees with regular bâtonnage.
Tasting notes
Delicate nose where a floral aroma ariseremembering white flowers. On the palate delicate and very balanced between a refreshing acidity and floral flavours coming from its nose. Elegante and mouthwatering end.
