Quinta de Santa Teresa is located on the boarder of Vinho Verde and the Douro, with arranged terraces separated by granite walls. This makes it the perfect environment for Avesso, a varietal of remarkable acidity with conditions to ripen fully and reveal its true aging potential.
- Winemaker: Alexandre and Dialina Gomes
- Farming: Certified Organic
- Variety: Field blend of Avesso, Arinto, Alvarinho and Malvasia.
- Terroir: Cool, maritime climate with predominantly granitic soils
- Vinification: Hand-harvested grapes arrive to the winery in 24kgs boxes. They are hand-selected and destemmed before going through skin contact process and a gentle pneumatic press. 90% of the must ferments in stainless steel vats at low temperature, the other 10% fermenting in oak barrels.
- Aging: After fermentation the wine stays on its fine lees, with batonnage, for a long period. Stabilization and tender filtration take place. Bottled in April of 2021.
- Tasting Note: This is *not* a spritzy style Vinho Verde, but instead a rich and round style made with native grapes and long lees-aging. Complex notes of orange oil, hazelnut, white pepper, and white flowers.
