Vinho Verde, Lyma, Lima, PT, 2023

A fresh, vibrant, expressive wine, bursting with lime lemon and floral aromas.

A blend of 80% Loureiro, 10% Trajadura, and 10% Pederna. Vines at an elevation of 20 meters
are grown on granite soils in the Lima sub-region of Vinho Verde. The Atlantic Ocean surrounds
the Lima area from the west, creating several microclimates in the Lima Valley. The natural
conditions of this region are ideal to produce excellent white wines. Many differentiating factors
contribute to the splendor of this unique region: the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the
exposure to sea winds, granite soils, mild climate and high rainfall. The Lima River is
surrounded by mountains on both sides (north and south banks), allowing for the appearance
of morning mist during summer months, which contributes to preserving the freshness of the
grapes.

After a pre-fermentation maceration at low temperature the grapes are pressed, and the juice
is clarified. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperature of 16º C, for two to three weeks
