Harvest: The 2025 growing season once again demonstrated how challenging the climate can be. Between a very rainy winter and spring and a summer marked by heatwaves above 40ºC lasting several days, the vegetative cycle progressed with intensity and contrast, supported by careful vineyard management in a year of high downy mildew pressure. Final production was lower, particularly for the white varieties, but this lower yield resulted in more intense, expressive raw material with great authenticity, accurately reflecting the terroir and identity of resilient Alentejo.

Winemaking: Destemmed grapes, lightly crushed, followed by gentle pressing. Classic clarification by settling. Fermentation exclusively in stainless steel tanks, with the varieties fermented separately. No malolactic fermentation was carried out.

Ageing: In stainless steel tanks for 6 months.

Serving temperature: 8º to 10ºC

Tasting note: A young, light wine with a citrus character, fresh, with floral nuances and a slight vegetal note. On the palate, it is fruity and light, supported by balanced acidity and body that enhance the sensation of freshness, proving very smooth and ideal for relaxed drinking.

Winemakers: Pedro Batista; Duarte Lopes
