Terras do Anjo 2014 White
The Anjo wines are a tribute to Quinta do Anjo that shelters the 53 hectares of vineyards that we have in our property.
It is a tribute to our terroir that so well expresses what is pure to the region, as the indigenous Fernão Pires and Arinto grapes, but also welcomes so well the French grapes, as the Chardonnay. It is a good example of the character and structure of our wines, supported by the freshness of the Atlantic sea breeze influence.
Geology
Clay-limestone soil, originally from the Jurassic period, with clayey and loamy texture. Soft slopes with southern exposure.

Vinification
