Terroir Notes: Vines planted to schist soils at an average altitude of 200m (660 ft) - 750m (2500 ft) elevation in Cima Corgo and Baixo Corgo. These subregions experience extreme highs and lows from a temperature standpoint, with some of the greatest day-night temperature delta in Portugal. As such the fruit experiences extended hangtime.

Winemaking Notes: 50-50 vinification approach, split between saignée method and direct press. All bunches are inspected for quality on a sorting table before they are vinified in temperature controlled stainless-steel vats. The lightly colored juice is slowly fermented at 54ºF to preserve the full aromatic expression.

Tasting Notes: Saturated rose-pink. On the nose, fresh crushed strawberries, bing cherries and cherry blossom aromas leap from the glass. On the palate, juicy and fresh, with beautiful texture and balance. Sour and Bing cherry, fresh and macerated strawberries, and a touch of white pepper spice all in abundance.
