Wine:

The 2020 White Douro DO Xisto Illimitado is a mineral, precise, floral and refined wine. Made from indigenous grape varieties, supported by a very fine maturation, it has ripe aromas of fruit, a delicate frame and a beautiful concentration. The delicate yet tight tannins blend into a very elegant palate. We appreciate its sapid character, with a saline and mineral finish. A completely chameleon-like wine, at ease on its own as an aperitif or with grilled or smoked fish!

Vinification:

Hand harvested. Different plots of land located in the wine area of Meda in the Douro Superior, predominantly micaschist soil. Crushing, destemming, pressing without prior maceration.
