Exclusive import. Stunning Portugese, Dry White.

Quinta Das Maias producing stunning red and white wines, Dao region, Portugal.

Malvasia Fina (100%). Malvasia Fina is the second most important white grape in the Dao and probably its most flavourful white variety. Very delicate and floral it usually presents an astonishing minerality. Frequently paired with Encruzado, Malavasia Fina produces wonderfully balanced wines.The white wines are superb with very intense and clean flavours, fresh and mineral. 

Crushing of the grapes with partial desteming, followed by a soft pressing in automatic press. The must was clarified by the action of gravity and decantation; fermentation occurred in
stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 16-18o C. We left the fine lees in the stainless vat and stirred them with the help of nitrogen injected in the bottom of the vat to
make a kind of “battonage”.

light straw, perfectly clear, with an intense bouquet containing floral and citric -lime and lemon-notes in perfect harmony with the light butter notes given by the ”battonage”. On the palate it is fresh and well structured, apt for good ageing, in the line of the classic Dao white wines.

Drink now or cellar for 4-5 years. An excellent aperitif or whilst accompanying seafood
