Quinta do Cardo - Vinha do Lomedo Síria 2014 White

VINEYARD
The vineyards are located at an average altitude of 750 meters, in the middle of the Iberian plateau, sheltered by a chain of mountains (Marofa and Castelo Rodrigo mountains). The soils are of a granitic nature, with a schist component . The continental climate combines cold winters with hot, dry summers, with daily temperature fluctuations up to 20°C. This combination of factors results in wines with great aromatic exuberance and plenty of freshness. 

2014 VINTAGE REPORT 
Winter in Beira Interior was harsh, long and with a fairly high rainfall. Springtime was almost non-existent and summer was quite hot. At the end of the season, the grapes showed up in excellent health and maturation status. In September the lack of rain and excess heat provided the ideal conditions for harvest, which started on September 7 (earlier than usual). 

WINEMAKING 
Fresh grapes were handpicked and quickly transported to the winery where they were conserved at low temperatures during 48 hours. Then, they were pressed directly to French oak barrels. Fermentation occured for 4 weeks where it aged for 22 months with regular “battonage”. Natural stabilized. Only 1461 bottles were produced.
