Quinta da Pedra Milagres Alvarinho 2019

Bright yellow. Pronounced aroma of fresh stone fruit and stone fruit preserve, yellow flowers and wet rocks. Medium to full body, with a refreshing acidity that cuts through the ripe fruit on the palate. Silky texture and very long aftertaste, always very enticing. Lightly chilled pre-fermentation maceration. Gentle pressing. Fermentation in stainless steel with controlled temperature. Final stage of fermentation finishes in very old used french oak barrels (+10year old). Bâtonnage is carried out for the first 6 months. Malolactic fermentation may occur in some barrels. After 12 months in the barrels, the wine is transferred to stainless steel tanks, finned and filtered and then bottled. It is released to the market with at least 2-3years of ageing in the bottle. Atlantic influenced climate. Vineyards planted on depressive soils of granite. High density plantation for better root penetration. Dry farmed for increased concentration. The wine is perfect to drink now, but will age beautifully for a further 10 years from the date of the harvest.
