The 2022 edition of Malhadinha Late Harvest, with its with its golden hue, like previous vintages, displays a remarkable intensity and aromatic compleity, highlighting notes of quince, apricot, and orange, all enveloped by high-quality oak barrels. On the palate, the experience is equally complex and rich; the sweetness is perfectly balanced by a good acidity, and the finish is quite long and persistent.
Grapes harvested manually on the first days of October and carefully selected at the choosing table. The must was inoculated with selected yeasts and the long, low temperature fermentation was interrupted in order to keep a adequate level of residual sugar, followed by a 24 month staging in french oak barrels.
The 80 hectares of vines sprout on the gentle slopes of drained schist soil, inserted into the terroir and respecting and integrating into the existing ecosystem and biodiversity.
