This wine is the first result of our investigation with the Loureiro variety on the several estates that we work along the Lima valley, on both banks of Lima river. This vineyard has an altitude of 35 meters high, with a soil of granitic origin but also with some schist. On the 2017 harvest, a particularly hot anddry year, we used this vineyard where we were able to obtain a quite unusual concentration and expression of the variety, but still keeping the freshness and pure nose of the variety.

Handpicked grapes, with a great selection at the vineyard, into small boxes and carried to the winery in a short period of time. Very soft pressing of the whole destemmed grapes. Long cold clarification. Fermentation in stainless steel. Ageing on stainless steel for 9 months with regular bâtonnage. 1 year of ageing on bottle.

Very delicate floral aroma also showing fresh hints of herbs (peppermint, sage) and some soft notes of kerosene/petrol. On the palate along with untuosity with some floral notes it also shows a very stressed and direct/refreshing acidity.
