Os Caniveis Branco
The white grapes from the field blends that make the red make the white 2023 Os Canivéis Branco, a selection of small plots with soil that is in transition between schist and granite at 520 meters above sea level, planted with a field blend of Alicante Espanhol, Boal, Carnal, Carrega Branco, Chasselás, Códega do Larinho, Diagalves, Ferdinand de Lesseps, Fernão Pires, Folgasão, Formosa, Gouveio, Jampal, Malvasia Rei, Rabigato, Rabigato Moreno, Sarigo and Síria. It was vinified in used barrels, where it matured with the lees for 12 months, followed by another six months in horizontal stainless steel vats. It has a spicy but subtle nose and a mixture of citrus, dry herbs and spicy notes. It comes in at 12.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.1 and 6.4 grams of acidity. It's tasty and dry and finishes with a faint bitter twist in the finish. 2,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2025.
