António Madeira White 2022

António Madeira White 2022

This white 2022 from António Madeira comes from various vineyards owned by partners from whom António buys the grapes. Some of the vines are young (20/30 years old) and others are older (60/70 years old). These vineyards are home to a wide variety of indigenous grape varieties, including Encruzado, Bical, Malvasia Fina and Cerceal.

Vinification

Alcoholic fermentation by indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation was also carried out. Ageing for 11 months, 50% in French oak barrels and 50% in stainless steel. The final batch was aged for a further 4 months in stainless steel.

Bottling without fining or filtration to preserve the wine's flavour characteristics and its ability to evolve in the bottle.

Producer Tasting notes

A terroir wine, committed to showing the beauties of the Dão at the foot of the Serra da Estrela. Deep, very characterful, pure fruit, floral notes, wet granite. Fresh, tense, elegant and full-bodied, with a saline mouth that begs for another glass. Flavourful, long and intense finish of wet granite.
