A fresh light bodied, young wine that is ready for immediate drinking. A blend of Portuguese and international varieties. The name ´Courela´originates from one of our vineyard parcels - ‘Courela dos Pageis’.
Vintage 2018
Cold, dry winter followed by a cool, humid spring finally interrupted by a short-lived heat wave in August, which kick-started the late summer. Harvest was consequently later than usual, and short in order to preserve the natural freshness that highlights the year.
Vinification
The grapes are fermented without stems and with temperature control, with frequent delestage (rack and return) and short maceration to enhance fruitiness and a soft tannin structure. No barrel ageing.
