The most vibrant expression of the Loureiro grape variety, demonstrates its potential to produce quality wines and its great capacity for evolution.
This wine originates in the Lima sub-region, birthplace of the Loureiro grape variety. It seeks the most vibrant expression of the grape variety, demonstrating its potential to produce quality wines and its great capacity for evolution.
Harvest Year
The 2023 wine year in the Vinho Verde region was a year of high precipitation and heat. Therefore, work in the vineyard was challenging. During the vegetative rest period (Autumn - Winter), higher values of temperature and precipitation were recorded. Thus, there was no lack of water throughout the cycle.
In Spring and Summer, both precipitation and temperature remained high, leading to a significant advance in ripening. Yields were slightly lower, which led to more profound and balanced ripenings. Historically, we started harvesting in August, with healthy grapes of great potential.
