Secret Spot Late Harvest Petit Manseng

Description

This Petit Manseng from the Douro clearly had a rather… idiosyncratic harvest. The grapes were picked on November 18th, using tiny boxes, suggesting a wonderfully selective approach. The vertical pressing, coupled with decanting at 10°C, ensures the resulting juice is as delicate as possible. Fermentation in French oak barrels, with fine lees lingering until the wine was fully settled, speaks volumes about the producer’s meticulous attention. It’s a wine that’s undoubtedly best enjoyed with a selection of nuts or sheep’s cheese – let it really unfold.
