Giz Vinhas Velhas Branco 2021

Grape Varieties: Field blend from centennial vines planted in chalky limestone predominant soils, where Maria Gomes and Bical varieties predominate.

Tasting Note: Complex, delicate aromas of floral and ripe citric fruit, resembling orange blossom and lime. Hints of vanilla, spice and flinty character add aromatic complexity. In the mouth it shows to be an elegant wine, full of minerality and freshness, reflecting the limestone soils from where it originates. It is simultaneously a deep, structured and complex wine, with a long and lingering finish.

Winemaking: The grapes were whole bunch pressed and the resulting must was fermented in seasoned oak barrels, followed by regular batonage until bottling date, in June 2019. Natural tartaric and protein stability achieved during 10 months of barrel ageing.

Pairing: Oysters, codfish and various types of cheese.

Winemaker: Luís Gomes.
