Equinócio, Organic
White Wine 2017
Vineyard: Made from multiple ancient varietals present on a very old vineyard located at the outskirts of the Reguengo village, in Serra de S. Mamede (the unique mountain above 1000 meters’ altitude in the South of Portugal). The vineyard faces eastward, at an altitude of 598 meters, and the soil is granitic (Ordovician).
Yields are very low. We cannot indicate any variety dominance. There are about 14 different varieties from a mass selection made until the early twentieth century.
Vinification: Fully healthy grapes were harvested and were put in 14 kg boxes. They were then crushed, pressed and naturally decanted for 48 hours. The fermentation with natural yeasts took place in 1 new 1.000 litres cask, until the end of the summer. It was bottled without fining and with a light filtration.
