WHITE 2024 • DOC ALENTEJO

Wine Concept

A noble and traditional Portuguese grape variety. One of the most widely planted varieties in Alentejo and the backbone of many wines from the region. This wine expresses the full potential of the variety, combined with granite soils and the warm climate of Alentejo, resulting in an aromatic, well-balanced wine with excellent ageing potential.
