Sorting of the grapes at the reception of the harvest. 100% natural vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with ageing on fine lees for 5 months.
The wines are from an extensive vineyard in the Vilariça Valley in the Douro Superior region. Rich in tannins and with spice, it has black fruits that are now ready to drink.
The wine comes from an Alentejo estate acquired by the Douro's Symington family in 2017. It is a powerfully structured wine. The tannins and the rich black fruits are laced with refreshing acidity, a sign of the estate's 1,500-foot altitude.
The vineyards of Garnacha planted on soils of slate –llicorella-, Cariñena vineyards grow on clay soils and Syrah vineyards located on limestone soils to obtain this complex wine after spending 4 months in French oak barrels.
Santa Cristina Vermentino was crafted to highlight this historical and traditional Tuscan grape variety in a very pleasant wine with a fresh, mineral character. Santa Cristina Vermentino is straw yellow in color. On the nose intense floral notes of jasmine are in perfect harmony with hints of banana and melon. Its palate is well-balanced and savory, with excellent freshness and mineral notes.
