Vinho Verde, Portugal— 80% Azal, 20% Espadeiro. This new Luar Rosa was 100% produced in “talhas” (amphoras). The two grape varietals, Azal and Espadeiro, are quite unique, rare and only found in the Vinho Verde region of Portugal .
Upon arrival at the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and moved to the “talhas” (amphora). At this point 500gm of ground chestnut flower was added and immediately foot stomped to create enough juice to cover the mass.
These grapes were kept with pellicular maceration for 12 days at 14ºC, pressed and returned to the “talhas” for the fermentation to finish. Once completed the fermentation, the amphora was sealed with plastic wrap and kept until the middle of December. It was then moved to a stainless-steel tank and bottled at the beginning of January, unfined and unfiltered.
At bottling 25mg/l of SO2 is added.
This wine is showing delicate aromas of flowers and red/blue berries, refreshing acidity and zesty texture with a pure and savory finish
