Herdade do Portocarro Branco 2023

Made in São Romão, the vineyard is surrounded by trees, and the vines are laid out in a North South orientation, atop a south-facing hill, 60 metres above the River Sado. Warm days and cool nights promote both fruit and freshness in the grapes. The soils here have high levels of calcium and a perfect PH balance which provide structure and flavour to the grapes. Grapes are hand harvested, and selected a second time before fermentation in 5000L French Oak Vats before being aged for a further 12 months in Stainless Steel Tanks with light batonnage.
