Aged sur lies(fine lees) with bâttonagein French oak wood.

Tasting Notes

Citrine in colour with verdant flashes, fruity but very elegant and distinctly moreish, with floral and mineral hints alongside very slight touches of toast that makes this wine smooth on the mouth, with a good body and acidity. Smooth, delicate and refreshing. An exceptional white wine so very characteristic of the Douro.

Alcohol– 12,75 % vol.
