Winemaking

As white grapes are more sensitive to diseases and because most of the aromas and their precursors are contained in the skins, it was extremely important to ensure a perfect selection of the grapes from the vineyard, and thus guaranteeing the final quality of the wine. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were sorted again and sent by gravity to the pneumatic press. The purpose of this process was to gently extract the juice, and to later send it to a thermoregulable vat, allowing the juice temperature to cool down and naturally clarify the must. 48 hours later, the must was ready to ferment in French oak barrels. After many tastings and strict selections, we created the first WWW wine, the Definido Branco.

Tasting notes

DEFINIDO BRANCO shows a light citrus and crystalline color. The fresh and mineral profile reveals the fantastic Terroir, where the vines are planted. It is complex in aroma, with the toast of the barrel in tune with a floral and delicate character very present. It presents notes of sea air, seaweed and white flowers, all in a very complex and seductive ensemble. Tense and vibrant in the mouth, slightly unctuous, with a very present acidity, expresses a lot of elegance and complexity. Very long finish, with light smoked and salty notes. It is a white that will benefit a lot in bottle. The perfect glass to be served, will be in “Burgundy” type glasses
