This is a non vintage white, 100% barrel fermented and aged. We just press whole bunches of Vital and Fernão Pires straight into used (3 or 4 wines) French oak barrels, where fermentation starts spontaneously. Once fermentation is over, usually malo happens right after and they wine sits on the lees over winter and spring, without battonage. In December 2021, we blended one barrel from 2019 and two barrels from 2020 to make this white Chinado, that show some roasted apple and pear notes, sided with some light oxidisation notes, finishing crispy and saline.
