About:

The grape varieties chosen for this fresh orange wine are two of the most important in the Lisboa region: Fernão Pires and Arinto. Fernão Pires has a medium acidity and high intensity in the aroma and for that reason it was made dominant, in this Skin Contact cuvée.

A fermentation process that usually applies to red wines has been used but in this case using white wine varieties, in which the skins are kept during fermentation, thus extracting more tannins and obtaining a fuller taste and the more interesting varietal aromas.

The Arinto variety is used in a smaller proportion to add more vibrant flavour, a common trait in all our wines.
