Description
Cabo da Roca Guardião dos Oceanos White 2024 — Chardonnay, Fernão Pires and Vital, whole-bunch pressed
A Lisboa white fermented cold in stainless steel at 14 ºC, with no destemming and no oak. Floral, tropical, balanced.
The vineyard sits 22 kilometres from the Atlantic at 200 metres, sixteen years old, Royat-trained. Strong ocean influence; alluvial ground against limestone slopes.
The blend is 35% Chardonnay, 35% Fernão Pires and 30% Vital, machine-harvested in the third week of September. Whole bunches go directly to press without destemming, then 24 hours cold before fermentation at 14 ºC. Entirely in stainless steel. 12.1% alcohol.
Soft yellow. A light floral, faintly sweet nose, tropical and fruit-driven. The palate has balance and structure, closing medium and elegant.
Serve at 12 ºC. Drink through 2028. Pairs with strong cheese, meat and barbecue. First vintage produced: 2014.
