CV Branco 2019

Grape Varieties: Single vineyard, with a field blend of different varieties such as Rabigato, Samarrinho, Donzelinho branco, Viosinho and Códega, etc...

Soil: Shist

Vinification: The vineyard that produces the CV - Curriculum Vitae Douro White is over 80 years of age, and is located in the northeast region of the Douro, at an average altitude of 480 meters, which allows for the production of fresher wines. All grapes are selected before being destemmed and slightly crushed by a pneumatic press. The first must is decanted for 24 hours at 10ºC in 2,500 liter stainless steel vats. The must is then transferred to carefully selected French oak barrels (225 and 500 litres) to ferment for 25+ days at controlled temperatures between 10ºC and 14ºC. The wine ages in the same barrels for more than 8 months, with battonage.

Tasting Notes: During the life of any winemaker, there are wines and moments that mark our lives, which deserve to remain on our curriculum. This wine is one of them. We called it CV - Curriculum Vitae. Created by Nature, this wine comes from a single vineyard and each year shows its elegant and persistent profile. The CV - Curriculum Vitae Douro White 2019 has a buttery nose, with grapefruit, lemon zest and floral notes. Great bottle aging capacity, and mysterious over the years. To enjoy with fish in the oven, light roasted or grilled meats and a wide selection of cheeses. Serve at 14ºC.

Winemaker: Cristiano van Zeller and Joana Pinhão.
