Da Corda Dos Profetas Branco

Description

The “vinho da corda” was one of the methods used to prepare “licorosos” before the advent of distillation in the mid‑17th century. Vineyards planted closer to the sea achieved different ripening stages, producing a naturally concentrated must. The technique began by separating the clearer, fresher “vinho flor,” and then, from the final pressing, extracting the “vinho da corda,” a richer, golden wine that was fashionable at the time. This Vinho da Corda comes from the sunny vineyards of Porto Santo, showcasing the island’s potential for these rich, authentic, and naturally oxidative wines.
