This is the result of a rigorous monitoring of the maturation of the Viognier grape clusters, which were harvested and subjected to a conservation and freezing process in order to produce a wine that shows a modern profile representative of the differentiation of the Monte da Ravasqueira vineyard.
Grapes are carefully collected into boxes and placed in a refrigerator, at temperature of -20ºC for a few weeks, in order to concentrate all of the caste’s rich flavours, sugars and natural acidity.
A selection of the clusters is made, followed by a slow and smooth pressing of the frozen grapes for more than 24 hours, resulting in a production of only 2,500 litres.
Tasting Notes
Yellow, lemon in colour with greenish tones. Complex matrix of a blend of ripe citric fruits with guava, tangerine peel, quince jam, honey, and pineapple in syrup. Fat, but fresh with intense grapefruit. Rich and full to taste. Sweetness in constant balance with the acidity and without overlap. Mineral, with unusual texture, it goes perfectly with cheese appetisers, dry fruits and patés, or with fruit-based desserts. Can also be drunk alone.
