Pactus Pinot Grigio White Reserva 2020

Average vine age: 30 years
Soil: Clay-limestone.
Harvest notes: Quinta do Carneiro’s very characteristic microclimate, with distinct Mediterranean attributes, provides excellent conditions for good ripening. Indeed, the relatively high temperatures (28-30°C) on the south- and west-facing slopes, where the white grape varieties are grown, combined with relatively low atmospheric humidity (<60%), contributed to excellent grape ripening and excellent health.
Vinification: Classic open-spout system. The grapes were destemmed and crushed upon arrival at the winery.
Then they were pressed, resulting in juice that underwent static decantation for 48 hours and fermentation in used French oak barrels for 15 days at controlled temperatures of 14-16°C. Aging: Aged for 9 months on fine lees in used French oak barrels, with weekly battonage during this time.
Alcohol content: 12.0% Vol
