DOC DOURO 2022
WHITE MERUGE 2022
WHITE MERUGE 2022
A wild plant and a concept of wines that interpret the vineyard, to better express it in the glass. A white that pays homage to the Viosinho grape variety in its chosen terroir: high-altitude vineyards in the Cima Corgo sub-region. Grapes from plots located in Celeirós and Mateus – different in age and exposure, but both planted in high, cool areas –, with a very marked acidity and minerality, balanced by fermentation and ageing in raw Portuguese oak barrels. Full, complex and with great aging potential.
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Color: Citrus straw.
Nose: Very fresh and aromatic, it is elegant, rich and complex. With very well-integrated wood, it presents aromas of fresh fruit, such as pear and quince, and slight nuances of pineapple. As it opens in the glass, aromas of spices and dried fruits are released, which make it very rich and quite interesting.
Mouth: Very fresh and fruity. It presents an excellent balance between structure and acidity, supported by white fruit, with some dried fruits and a slight vanilla note, as a result of the aging in wood. It is expressive and harmonious. With a long and persistent finish, due to its
freshness, promises longevity.
