VINEYARDS AND VINIFICATION
Grapes from a single vineyard in the north coast of the Island, São Vicente,
LOT
This Verdelho 2000 Colheita Single Cask 4 d+e was produced exclusively with grapes from the same vineyard as the previous (Verdelho 1996). It is a vine owned by the farmer Agostinho Andrade Junior and his family with whom we have a very special relationship for many years. The fact that the grapes had origin in the north coast of the island, São Vicente, contributed decisively to the explosive acidity of this wine that almost disguises completely the concentration obtained over the last 14 years of aging by the traditional process of Canteiro, in a French old oak cask. In June 2015, 1.116 bottles have been filled, all individually numbered.
