The cat chose this fancy and awarded Vinho Verde, a single variety ofthe queen of the Vinho Verde grapes: the Alvarinho. 100% Portuguese it comes close to the Pinot Grigio feeling if you like that, then this wine is for you. A great white wine for the summer evenings, when she is gazing at the stars from her holiday villa.. with our without food pairing!
This wine shows a bright citrine colour, it's fresh, yest soft with a balanced acidity. On the palate, it is a well structured wine, with fruit notes, which contributes to a pleasant and persistent aftertaste.

The climate is cool and humid thanks to a strong Atlantic influence. The wines are characterised by aromatic intensity, complemented by great freshness and minerality.
The harvest takes place from the end of August until mid-October.
Vinification: Total destemming followed by crushing and pressing. Fermentation with temperature control systems between 12ºC and 14ºC.
