Quinta das Bageiras White 2014

Portugal | Bairrada | Quinta das Bageiras

At Quinta das Bágeiras we look for above all quality and character. To find this, we adopted a minimalist approach to oenology, creating wines that are as natural as possible, so they can express the terroir where they were born. Quinta das Bágeiras wines have great longevity in common, whether it be red, white or sparkling.

Tasting Notes Lively and bright with slight notes of hay. A beautiful honey undertone with enormous phenolic power. Full and concentrated, powerful; almost chewy, vigorous and full of energy. The finsih is almost endless.

Vinification/Maturation The Quinta das Bágeiras white comes from vineyards with just over 15 years of age. It is vinified using an ancestral process, in which the must is placed in small open decanters of 1m³ , where it sits for 24 to 36 hours to achieve decanting through natural precipitation. At the end of this process, the must is transferred to stainless steel tanks where it ferments, with cooled temperature control. Only indigenous natural yeasts is used for fermentation that is native to the grape, with no addition of enzymes or extra yeasts.
