Cepas Cinquentenárias Branco

Descrição

The white Serras de Grândola Cepas Cinquentenárias wine, crafted from the varieties Fernão Pires, Arinto, Trincadeira das Pratas, Bical, Rabo de Ovelha and Malvasia fina, comes from vines planted in 1961. Its elegance is reflected in aromas of white flowers and subtle vanilla. On the palate it is fruit‑laden, slightly citrusy, with a refreshing acidity and a persistent finish. At this estate, the source of the prestigious Serras de Grândola wines, there is a vine over 50 years old, planted in 1961, and a younger vine from 2008. Situated just 10 km from the coast, between the beaches of Aberta Nova and Galé, the vineyards benefit from the Atlantic breezes. Located 150 metres above sea level on the western slope of the Serra de Grândola, the site enjoys cool nights that favour balanced ripening. Moreover, the remarkable soils, rich in iron and slate, enhance the terroir’s uniqueness. The wine production is a family effort carried out in the house cellar, on naturally low‑organic‑matter soils with a strong iron presence, which contributes to the wine’s characteristic minerality.
