\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVilabela is located on an east-facing slope, along the\nbanks of the Varosa River, a tributary of the Douro. We are in the heart of the Baixo Corgo region, the coolest of the\nthree Douro sub-regions. Our\nvineyard, planted in schist soil at an altitude of 400 meters, is a terroir\nthat enhances the freshness of the sub-region.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tasting Notes<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGolden-yellow in colour, as expected from a skin-contact white. Highly\ncomplex aromatically, with notes of yellow-fleshed fruit and candied\nfruit, particularly orange and mango, alongside barrel ageing notes,\nhighlighting vanilla pod. On the palate, it shows a very appealing\nbalance between breadth and firm acidity, never losing the aromatic\ncharacter detected on the nose. The finish is very persistent, firm and\nbalanced.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Winemaking and Ageing\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe entire ripening cycle is monitored with berry tasting and\nphysicochemical analysis, which determines the ideal harvest date. We seek to harvest the grapes when their fruit expression is intense and they still have a firm, structural acidity. The grapes are harvested in 20kg crates and taken to the winery. After destemming, and unlike the classic white wine vinification process, fermentation takes place with skin contact. Fermentation occurs in small lagares, maintaining contact with the skins in order to promote greater extraction of their components.\nAfter fermentation, the wine ages for 12 months in used oak barrels,\ngaining complexity and depth. This is followed by stabilization and, after gentle filtration, bottling.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBottles should be stored horizontally, in a cool place (15\u00b0C) with a\nrelative humidity of approximately 70%. When stored under ideal\nconditions, it will evolve positively for a minimum of 15 years.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis white wine should be served between 10 and 12\u00b0C, in generously\nsized glasses that allow the full expression of this skin-contact Malvasia.\nA white wine of this dimension shows great gastronomic versatility,\npairing particularly well with oven-baked dishes of intense flavour,\nnamely oily fish, as well as richly flavoured meats.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
