TASTING NOTES
Citrus green in colour. Floral aromas with notes of guava and passion fruit. On the palate it is silky and fresh. Very tasty!
BACKGROUND
Valdoeiro, situated in the rural area of Vacarica, Mealhada county, is one of the most beautiful properties of the Bairrada AOC region.
The messias family, brought the property in the early 1940’s and since the have doubled the size of their estate, reaching its current total of 130 ha, 70 of which are vineyards.
There is an old saying at Quinta do Valdoeiro which describes the condition of the soil: “The vineyard must suffer, to give a good wine”. The soil is very poor, composing of a sandy top layer with a layer of solid clay underneath. The vines produce very low yields. The roots find it difficult to penetrate in search of the nutrients which are essential to plant life.
Other factors contributing to the quality of the grapes are the slight difference in elevation in the ground surface and the south and east facing sunny slopes.
