Portalegre Branco

In the mountains of São Mamede, in the heart of the natural park, we have scattered secular vines with a huge diversity in terms of grapes varieties.

Hand selection of the best grapes from the old vineyards. Soft pressing and natural fermentation, without addition of yeast, in 500l French oak barrels and in small vats. Aged on fine lees for ten months.

The Portalegre Branco’s main goal is to reflect the secular tradition of winemaking that exists in the region, underlining the freshness and elegance only provided by the altitude.
