Cepas Cinquentenárias Branco

Description

The Cepas Cinquentenárias white wine, crafted from the varieties Fernão Pires, Arinto, Trincadeira das Pratas, Bical, Rabo de Ovelha and Malvasia fina, comes from vines planted in 1961. Its elegance shows in aromas of white flowers and gentle vanilla. On the palate it is fruity, slightly citrusy, with a refreshing acidity and a lingering finish. In this estate, the home of the prestigious Serras de Grândola wines, there is a vine over 50 years old, planted in 1961, and a younger vine from 2008. Located just 10 km from the coast, between the beaches of Aberta Nova and Galé, the vines benefit from Atlantic sea breezes. Situated 150 m above sea level on the western slope of the Serra de Grândola, the cool nights favour balanced ripening. The notable soils, rich in iron and slate, complement the terroir’s uniqueness. Wine production is a family effort carried out in the home cellar, on naturally poor organic matter soils with a strong iron presence, contributing to the wines’ characteristic minerality.
