Barbeito Branco

Descrição

Barbeito grapes harvested in late September. The fruit was carefully selected and shipped in 20‑kg crates. Half of the Verdelho was vinified via foot‑pressing with cold maceration for three days, while the remaining half was pressed whole. Both the Verdelho and the Cercial (in open barrels) were fermented at a controlled 10 °C–15 °C. The wine was bottled in October 2020, yielding 3,811 bottles. Fifty per cent of the Verdelho spent a year aging in new and used French oak barrels; the rest were kept in temperature‑controlled stainless‑steel tanks. LOT: 96 % Verdelho from Raposeira, Seixal and São Vicente, 4 % Cercial from Seixal. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Total acidity 6.82, residual sugar 0.6 g l⁻¹, pH 3.30. Contains sulphites. SKU: 106998
