White 2023 – Cintila

The grapes to produce White Cintila were harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified immediately to retain the freshness. The grapes underwent a light pellicular maceration followed by fermentation which took place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats. White Cintila did not go through malolactic fermentation and was made in an unoaked style. As a result, the style of the wine is fresh, pure and aromatic.

The Pegões vineyard is located between two Nature Reserves: the Tagus estuary to the northwest and the Sado on the southwest. To the east are the Arrabida hills and to the west the Alentejo province’s clays. The unique soil here is named “Pliocenico de Pegões”. It is a sandy soil formed over millions of years by sand transported by the rivers Tagus and Sado. It is this Mediterranean climate and soil combination that creates this unique Pegões terroir.
