Grape Varieties: Malvasia

Tasting Notes: Bright greenish color with golden highlights. Light floral aromas characteristic of the variety, notes of anise and tangerine, fresh and vibrant expressing well the wild terroir where it grows. Immediate sensation of freshness and acidity, notes of orange and tangerine in jam, long finish, and the characteristic salty sensation predominant in the Colares.

Vinification: Vineyards planted on hard ground in Colares. Delayed, intentional, manual harvest to allow the development of all the Malvasia's aromatic component.
