Flor de S. José White
With a citrus color, the wine shows up initially very discreet with very fresh notes, citrus, tropical mild later evolving for some minerals, more
discreet and elegant notes. In the mouth is fresh with balanced and present acidity. Fine and complex with a good character of fruit, excellent balance between alcohol, acidity and fruit, and a very thin and long finish.

Grape Variety:
45% Viosinho

Origin: Higher areas of the Douro, with an altitude between 450 and 500 meters, allowing a good temperature range. These conditions are
extremely important to mature slowly in order to preserve the flavors of the grapes variety, its freshness and acidity. Vinification: Grapes are harvested by variety and plots in boxes of 20Kg, and put in cold at 5/6°C. After fully stalked, they are crushed. The must was subtly
pressed and decanted until necessary limpidity. It fermented in a temperature between 14/16°C in vat during 3 weeks, in order to
enhance the primary flavors. The wine was submitted to coerce before bottling.
