Capitão-Mor Alvarinho 2015
				Tasting Notes				Deep lemon custard notes with fresh almond and and peach flavors.  a creamy mouth feel from 6 months agin gon the lees.  Mineral tones carry the fruit into a refined and long lasting finish.

Half of them are submitted to pellicular maceration for five hours, with temperature control while the other half is pressed after being decanted, the must is fermented and the wine stays on top of the slim lees with "bâtonnage" for 6 months until bottling.
