Manoella Vinho Branco 2022 750ml

The 2022 Manoella Branco comes from a high-altitude vineyard on granite soils surrounded by forest in the village of Pombal, with old vines of a field blend of Viosinho, Rabigato, Codega and Gouveio. It was fermented in stainless steel and concrete eggs and kept with fine lees for around six months with bâtonnage to give it more creaminess on the palate, as the wine has higher acidity. It’s elegeant with the austerity and finesse from the granite. They picked early in warm 2022 when only the old vines cushioned the heat, but they kind of stopped. The wine is 12.5% alcohol.
