The grapes were harvested manually on Madeira Island and transported in 40 kg boxes to Porto Santo Island. Selected on a sorting table, direct pressed whole clusters into decantation tanks, with three fractions being separated, without any use of SO2 until the end of fermentation, allowing for a pre-oxidation of the must and a more complete spontaneous fermentation. The must fermented in two 500-liter horizontal stainless steel vats and one 228-liter barrel, with total lees aging for 9 months.
Clean yellow-citrus color. Fresh aroma, mineral/volcanic, with some tropical fruit. Tense attack, good freshness, with significant salinity present until the end.
Fresh, very mineral, and saline. High acidity, making it a good match for seafood and fatty fish.
