Maria Mora 2016 White
Vineyards
The 60 hectares of vineyards are planted with the traditional red grapes varieties Trincadeira, Aragonez and the famous Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet, and the white varieties are Antão Vaz and Arinto. The vineyard is composed by several portions and it’s planted in poor sandy soils.
Vinification
The grapes were fully stripped and immediately pressed in a pneumatic press. The clear must was decanted and cooled to low temperatures for 24 hours. The fermentation took place in stainless steel vats with temperature control for about 3 weeks. The wine remained only in stainless steel vats to preserve all the aromas of fresh fruit.
