WINTER
HARVEST
Region: Vinho Verde
Sub-Region: Amarante
Grapes: Espadeiro
Alcohol: 12,0% vol.
Total Acidity: 8,2 g/L tartaric acid
pH: 3,10
Residual Sugar: 180 g/L
This was the first Late Harvest to be produced in the
Vinho Verde Region.
Several experiences allowed to conclude that the
Espadeiro grape variety reveals a huge potential for
producing natural sweet wines. After a longer than usual
period on the vineyard, the grapes are pressed,
obtaining a very concentrated must that, after a slow
fermentation and aging, results in a unique wine with
notes of honey and dry fruits, smooth mouth, sweet and
very long end.
Consumption: Drinking temperature between 6 ºC and 8 ºC.
Age: One year in used oak barrel.
