Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Produced entirely with the Portuguese grapes 40% Aragonez, 40% Trincadeira, 10% Alicante Bouschet and 10% Touriga Nacional, grape varieties typical of the region. This wine is garnet red in color with an intense aroma of red fruits, well-balanced and with a good freshness.
Fermentation in stainless steel vats. Shale and limestone soils.
Vineyard Notes
In a total of 48 hectares of vineyards, the soils mark the profile of our wines. Limestone soils are deeper and more fertile, originating grapes with greater balance and freshness, combining with schist soils (hard, dense rocks layered with minerals), poor and austere lands, a source of concentration and minerality. Each has its own expression, together they complement in every wine of Adega do Monte Branco.
Production Notes
Total de-stemming. Cold soaking for 2 days. Fermentation in stainless steel vats at a temperature of 24/26°C.
