Casal Sta Maria Sauvignon Blanc Branco 2023

Vineyards: Grapes from our original vineyards, planted in 2006 by Mr. Barão Bodo von Bruemmer, located in Casal Sta. Maria, next to Praia da Adraga and in Galamares, all of them with very different characteristics.

Grape Varieties: Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes: Bright color with greenish hues. A wine with a varietal aromatic matrix, with notes of asparagus, white pepper and a light earthy aroma, but accompanied by iodine and mineral nuances typical of our terroir. The light barrel aging and bâtonnage give volume and breadth, elevating the wine to a gastronomic level.

Winemaking: The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected in the winery using a sorting mat. After light crushing and 3 hours of skin maceration, the grapes are pressed. Static decantation for 48 hours and subsequent fermentation in stainless steel tanks follows. With the lees still present, 2 months of bâtonnage follow. After this period, the wine remains on fine lees until mid-April. During fermentation, 15% of the batch is transferred to French oak barrels.

Consumption: It should be drunk at around 8-10ºC and can benefit from aging in the bottle for 6 years.

Winemaking: Jorge Rosa Santos and Antonio Figueiredo.

Viticulture: José Ribeiro Corrêa.
