The first edition of Vale Travessos white resulted in a wine with strong personality, the fermentation in third year barrel allowed a better expression of the vineyard's character, less focused on fresh fruits and more connected to the vegetable notes, earthy and mineral. The result is a stern white wine, but full of character. The same sensation on the mouth, concentrated, rich with excellent acidity, volume and finish.
Grapes harvested manually to 12Kg boxes and carefully selected in the choosing table. Soft pressing and cold decantation during 48h. Fermentation and 12 months staging in third year 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.
