Vinhas do Lanco Verdelho
-- Weingut: The harvest took place in the second week of September 2020, under optimal weather conditions. The grapes come from a vineyard in Feiteiras and from another small old vineyard, located at a higher altitude, in front of the main house of the Lanço property. Soft pressing of whole grapes in a pneumatic press. After the pressing we did a decantation over 24 hours separating the must from the lees. Controlled fermentation at 15 degrees. This blend is composed of 35% wine aged in French oak barrels with 4 years of use and the remaining 65% in stainless steel tanks both for 14 months. In December 2021, 1428 units were bottled, all individually numbered. This wine was further aged in bottle for 8 months before being released to the market in September 2022. Citrus greenish colour. Very elegant and fresh nose. Citrus notes, slight herbaceous, nuance of toast with subtle well integrated wood, apricot and some volcanic stone. In the mouth it is dry, mineral, highlighting the refreshing acidity. Slightly salty in the finish, very pleasant. Excellent as an aperitif, with seafood, grilled or marinated fish.
