Natus Vini Natus Branco 2022
Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of Roupeiro, Antao Vaz & Gouveio from Alentejo, Portugal. The vineyards that produced this wine are planted in the heart of Vidigueira, at the southern foot of the Serra do Mendro, on schist soils with sandy loam and loam textures
Taste Profile: Lemon colour, with green highlights. Citrus aroma of good complexity with typical notes of stone fruit and white pulp. In the mouth, it has presence and reactivity of tannins from partial fermentation, which give it freshness and texture. Harmonious, dense and wide, it calls for rich dishes on the table in winter, and long, warm nights in summer.
Winemaking Process: The traditional grape varieties, mainly Roupeiro, Antão Vaz and Gouveio, were hand-picked and trodden by foot in a wine press for 2 days. When fermentation began spontaneously, the grapes were pressed and the must was stored in traditional amphorae and used oak barrels until the end of alcoholic fermentation. The 8-month aging period was carried out in the fermentation barrels, attested by the amphorae, on total lees, with light stirring every month.
