Uivo Curtido Branco 2023

The ‘Uivo Curtido’ is comprised of 100% moscatel galego from 35-year-old vines in soils spattered with schist and granite. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo vigorous sorting in the vineyard. The grapes are partially de-stemmed but not pressed and allowed to macerate for four months, with spontaneous fermentation taking place with natural yeast in cement tanks. The extended skin contact gives the wine a beautiful peachy hue and tannins on the palate. Even more complexity comes from 2 months spent on the lees, and it is bottled unfined and unfiltered. As tasty as it looks, this bursts with jasmine, chamomile, and exotic wildflowers on a chewy grapefruit core! Organically grown, low-intervention/natural wine, vegan.
