QUINTA DO CIDRÔ GOUVEIO

Gouveio is one of the best-known white grape varieties in the Douro. Despite being a highly sensitive and low-yielding variety, it is a highly noble variety that found the perfect conditions for good ripening in the cool terroir of Quinta de Cidrô. A variety that stands out for its excellent mouthfeel, rich minerality and high acidity. Therefore, we approach this Gouveio early in the harvest, in order to preserve all its character in a fresh and balanced style.

FERMENTATION AND AGEING:
The grapes are hand-picked and transported to the winery in 20kg boxes. After going through a manual selection process, the bunches are destemmed and the grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press. After a 24-hour decantation, the alcoholic fermentation of the must follows in stainless steel tanks at 14-16ºC. 80% of Gouveio was aged in barrels (20% new wood) and a cask, both made of French oak, for a period of 8 months in contact with fine lees using the batonage method, while 20% was aged in stainless steel until the batch was made and bottled.

TASTING NOTES:
A Gouveio with an attractive citrus color, revealing brightness and youthfulness. On the nose, delicate notes of white plum, pear and dried flowers emerge, in a very fine and complex profile. When tasting, it shows its fresher aromatic side with an excellent texture complemented by its mineral character, ending tense and full of flavors.

WINE PAIRING:
Grilled sea fish
Various seafood or cured cheeses.

As a vegetarian suggestion, a vegetable quiche or summer quinoa.
