Casa de Vilacetinho Vinho Verde
A fun, light and spritzy Vinho Verde
A light, crisp, ever-so-slightly spritzy Vinho Verde made from a blend of Avesso, Arinto and Loureiro grapes. An uncomplicated and highly enjoyable wine with notes of zesty lime, melon and peach.
The Estate:
Casa de Vilacetinho is located in Alpendurada overlooking the River Douro and covers an estate with 30 hectares of vineyards which develop in a continuous and ordered manner in soils of granitic nature, with a predominantly south-facing exposure, making it one of the most prosperous terroirs of the region set to the production of ‘Vinho Verde’.
The Winemaking:
All the grapes were picked by hand and taken to the winery in small boxes. They are dropped onto a sorting belt that carries them to a de-stemmer. The grapes will then be pressed in pneumatic press, and all these grape varietals are then placed together in stainless steel for alcohol fermentation at 14-16ºc. After stabilising for three months, the decision of what the blend of this wine will be is left right till the very end
