Tapada do Chaves White 2018

This white wine comes from the Alto Alentejo region, from vineyard plots on the granite massif of Serra de São Mamede, designed to reflect the terroir’s distinctive character.
Crafted from grapes such as Arinto, Antão Vaz and Fernão Pires, manually harvested and aged on fine lees with periodic bâtonnage, it delivers richness and elegance.
In the glass it shows a “citrus with golden hues” colour. The nose opens with ripe white fruit, melon, orange blossom and a subtle mineral note of flint/phosphorus. On the palate it is full-bodied, with vibrant acidity, a silky texture and a long, persistent finish.
