Definido Vinhas Velhas White 2022 aims to show a vision of the great potential of the Dão region. It is precise and uniquely authentic. With great ageing potential, it stands out for its minerality and freshness in the white. It goes well with roast fish, shellfish, seafood rice, white meats and sushi.
Vinification: The grapes were selected and sent by gravity to the pneumatic press to delicately extract their juice, and then sent to a thermoregulating vat to lower the temperature and naturally clarify the must. 48 hours later the must was ready to ferment in French oak barrels, part of which underwent malolactic fermentation in old cement vats dating from 1962.
Tasting Notes: Light citrus colour and crystal clear. Fresh, mineral profile reveals the fantastic terroir where the vines are located. Complex aroma, with the toastiness of the barrel in harmony with a floral character. Notes of sea air, seaweed and white flowers, all in a very complex and seductive blend. Tense and vibrant in the mouth, slightly unctuous, with a well-present acidity, very elegant and complex. Very long finish, with slight smoky and savoury notes.
Grape Varieties: Encruzado, Bual (Malvasia Fina) and Rabo de Ovelha
