Freixo Alvarinho 2020 White
Winemaking
Planted in a specific Terroir in Herdade do Freixo, the cool winds from Serra d’Ossa allowed for a slow and smooth maturation, preserving all the Alvarinho’s aromatic potential. After general destemming and light pressing, the must was conducted to stainless steel tanks through gravity flow, where it fermented at low temperature. It then rested for 2 months in oak with battonage, ageing in bottle for an additional 3-month period, until all the batch was harmonized.
