Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Produced entirely with the Portuguese grapes Arinto and Antão Vaz. This wine has a citrine color and citrine flavors with good minerality, well integrated with some oaky flavors. On the palate is good volume with good minerality and a well integrated acidity, that gives a freshness unusual in a warm climate region. Long finish.
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.
