Covela Avesso Branco

Quinta de Covela practices organic farming on granite soils that form a natural amphitheater facing south. A setting of terraces planted at low altitude on the right bank of the River Douro in the southern part of the Vinho Verde Region (Minho).

Cold winter and hot, dry summer - on the border between the continental climate of the Douro Valley and the maritime influence of the Douro Litoral.

Harvested by hand. Transport in small boxes to avoid crushing. Hand-picking of the bunches. Gentle pressing.

Fermentation in stainless steel vats with temperature control.

Ageing on fine lees. Light filtration before bottling.
