Description
1808 Colheita White 2023 — Síria and Fonte Cal at 690 metres, organic and vegan
Cold-fermented at 14 ºC with six months in French oak. Quince, nectarine and a fresh mineral close.
Fonte Cal and Síria are Beira Interior’s own white grapes, and they need altitude to stay fresh. The vineyard lies 155 kilometres from the Atlantic at 690 metres, eight years old, planted east to west, yielding six tonnes per hectare.
Certified organic and vegan. The blend is 85% Síria and 15% Fonte Cal, machine-harvested in the fourth week of August. Destemmed and crushed straight to tank, 48 hours of cold soak, fermentation at 14 ºC, then six months in French oak barrels. 12.5% alcohol.
Lemon in colour. Quince, nectarine and stone fruit on the nose. The palate is fresh and mineral, finishing with persistence.
Serve at 10 ºC. Drink through 2027. Pairs with soft cheese, seafood, fish dishes and pasta. First vintage produced: 2019.
