UIVO Curtido Branco

VARIETALS
100% Moscatel Galego

NOTES
VINEYARD: All estate fruit. The stony soils are derived from shale and granite and the slopes softened by the altitude, between 500 and 700 meters, give the vineyards unique characteristics. 35 year old vines.

VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested in September, undergoes vigorous vineyard sorting, partially de-stemmed but not pressed and allowed to macerate for four months. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in cement tanks (5000L) with ambient yeasts and lasts roughly three weeks under temperature control. The wine spends approximately two months on the lees after pressing with no stirring. Aged in cement tanks for six months; not fined or filtered.
