The grapes for this wine came solely from the Quinta de Azevedo estate. Eschewing the traditional high-trained pergolas of the Vinho Verde region, the Quinta de Azevedo vineyards were devised using a modern cordon-trained system. This ensures better exposure of the grapes and aeration of the vine canopy, which prevents disease and results in riper and healthier fruit at harvest. The vineyards are farmed following sustainable practices and cover crops are planted between the vines rows, these help to improve soil health, to absorb excess rainwater and to encourage biodiversity in the vineyard.
This wine is bright yellow in colour. The nose is bursting with ripe stone fruit aromas of peach and apricot. The palate is fresh with ripe fruit flavours balanced with notes from oak ageing, providing creaminess and complexity. The finish is long and lingering.
