Quinta das Bágeiras Avô Fausto Branco 2022

Avô Fausto Branco Made from Maria Gomes grapes, this wine comes from a vineyard subject to very low production and a relatively early harvest, so that its natural high acidity would give rise to a white wine for ageing. It was vinified through fermentation off skins and the must was placed in small decanters of 1 m3 where it remained for 24 to 36 hours to be decanted through natural precipitation. At the end of this process, it was fermented in used barrels made from French oak. It fermented with slight bâtonnage and aged in the barrels until completely clear, in a natural manner. Bottled without filtration or fining.

““The more floral profile is apparent in the elegant aroma, as well as a slight smoke. The mouth is surprising, in its intensity, lightness and almost crisp freshness, resulting in a vibrant and long wine, with great ageing potential. 17,5/20”
