Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
The grapes come from higher elevation vineyards on the Vallado Estate and are vinified in the traditional “Bica Aberta” method, where the skins are in contact with the juice for only a few hours, giving it a pale pink coloration. After skin contact, fermentation continues for approximately one month at controlled temperatures between 57-59° F, and the wine is then aged for three months in stainless steel vats.
Serving Hints
Serve chilled on its own or with any type of seafood, summer salads, and fruit-based desserts.
