Granito Cru Alvarinho 2022

Granito Cru Alvarinho 2022

Granito Cru Alvarinho 2022 is fresh, mineral and of great purity. Its name reflects the type of soil where the vines are planted and Luís Seabra's ‘raw’ winemaking philosophy, which intervenes as little as possible. This results in a wine that captures the essence of the granite soil and the grape variety in an authentic and direct way.

Vinification: Grapes crushed and destemmed without sulphurisation and maceration. Decanted at low temperature for 48 hours, fermentation and ageing took place in oval 1000 and 2000 litre Slavonian oak barrels. It fermented for 4 months with indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation took place completely during the 12-month ageing period. After ageing, 4 months in stainless steel vats before bottling, the only time sulphur dioxide was used. Naturally stabilised wine. May create a deposit.

Tasting notes: Golden colour, mineral wine with aromas of stone fruit and some exotic fruit, pear, aromatic notes of orange blossom and honey, and spices such as white pepper. On the palate it's fresh and balanced with volume and great depth, the wood appears very well integrated, almost imperceptible, and it finishes long and full.
