Genese Terroir Montanha Branco

Description

Genesis Mountain Terroir Genesis symbolizes the roots of Manuel and Luís Cerdeira in Melgaço, their native land. This wine comes from Monção and Melgaço, 100% Alvarinho, crafted from vines selected on the mountain slope. The winemaking process combines slow stainless‑steel fermentation with partial malolactic conversion and 20 % of the wine aged in Mixtus barrels made from woods of different origins. **Region:** Monção e Melgaço | Vinho Verde DOC **Mountain Terroir:** - **Soil:** Granitic, sandy, with low clay content. The soil is poor and highly acidic, influencing the wine’s profile. - **Climate:** A valley sheltered by mountains, with minimal maritime influence. Vineyards are planted at altitude, experiencing warm, dry summers and cold winters. During ripening, the high diurnal temperature range—hot days and cool nights—allows slow maturation, preserving elegance and acidity. **Allergen Information** Contains sulfites. SKU: 107806
