Description

**Quinta da Pedragosa** Our versatile white wine is made mainly from Arinto, a grape of Portuguese origin now grown around the world. Arinto gives us fresh, mineral wines with vibrant acidity. **PIOTR'S SUGGESTION:** "It pairs perfectly with the view over our orchard and vineyard! Pedragosa Bianco is a universal wine for relaxing, creating lasting holiday memories, and complementing the flavours of the treasures of the Atlantic Ocean, our most important neighbour." **CLIMATE** Typically Mediterranean, in the Lagos sub-region, where the climate is among the coolest and most temperate in the Algarve, providing an ideal microclimate for producing high-quality wines. **SOILS** Low-yielding clay-limestone soils with active limestone and low water-holding capacity. They offer high potential for viticulture and for producing outstanding wines. **GRAPE VARIETIES** Arinto and Malvasia. Both varieties are planted in a plot with a slight east-facing exposure, with the rows oriented north-south. **WINEMAKING** Hand-harvested in 12 kg crates. After 24 hours of cold skin maceration, fermentation took place in used 500-litre French oak barrels over 18 days at controlled temperature. At the end of fermentation, the wine underwent daily bâtonnage, bringing it into contact with the fine lees and contributing to greater complexity and richness. **AGEING** Aged for eight months in used 500-litre French oak barrels. **ANALYTICAL PARAMETERS** Total acidity: 7.0 g/dm³ Volatile acidity: 0.40 g/dm³ Residual sugar: 0.8 g/dm³ pH: 3.09 **VITICULTURE** Ricardo Jacinto **OENOLOGY** Catarina Vieira and Pedro Ribeiro **IG Algarve** **Awards** 17/20, Grandes Escolhas **Allergen information** Contains sulphites. **SKU:** 108148
