Alvarelhão is a grape varietal from Northern Portugal with a great potential to produce elegant wines. It was sourced from a small producer in Cabeceiras de Basto, situated in the Vinho Verde sub-region of Basto. After destemming, the berries were transferred to a stainless steel “Lagar” to macerate for five days and start fermenting without temperature control. It was then pressed and transferred to 1000-liter talhas (amphoras) to finish the alcoholic fermentation and undergo the malolactic fermentation. After ten weeks, the wine was decanted into a stainless-steel tank and bottled in February.
