Vinho Verde, Portugal

Loureiro and Trajadura

Quinta do Ermízio Vinho Verde is sourced from the estate’s 15 hectares of vines, all cultivated in the traditional pergola system and farmed with limited interventions and abundant cover crops. The soils are granitic and the elevation is around 500 meters. The grapes were harvested by hand, then pressed and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks at 18°C. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic conversion is blocked and the wine rests in the same vessels before bottling with a light filtration and a small addition of sulfur and CO². An otherworldly Vinho Verde with more flavor than its counterparts. Festive and fizzy, with a mineral-tinged lemon and green melon palate.
