Vale de Lobos White DOC TEJO

TYPE: White wine

CLASSIFICATION: D.O.C.  do Tejo

VARIETIES: Fernão Pires

TYPE OF SOIL : Calcarious-Clay

CLIMATE : Dry Mediterranean

WINEMAKING: The grapes were harvested at the beginning of September, and then they were separated from the lot, followed by maceration before fermentation. The fruit was then skinned and decanted at 10ºC. The remains were inoculated with selected yeast and proceeded to fermentation with temperature control at 18ºC. Part of the wine stayed in oak barrels. At last, it was stabilized by cold and plaque filtered.

TASTING: Made exclusively with Fernão Pires grape variety, this citrus colored wine with greenish highlights and intense bouquet of passion fruit, pineapple and peach presents an excellent structure influenced by barrel ageing. Very elegant and balanced wine, with a freshness and a persistent flavour.

Perfect with fish, it goes very well with white meats and oriental cuisine. Best drunk at 10ºC.

ALCOHOL : 13% vol.
