Tasting notes
Lemon yellow in colour, Paço de Teixeiró Loureiro reveals a fresh and refined nose, with predominant floral and white fruit notes, enveloped by citrus hints. The barrel ageing is discreet, adding depth without imposing itself. On the palate, it is structured and harmonious, with well-integrated acidity that gives it balance and liveliness. An expressive, elegant and sophisticated Loureiro, distinguished by its complexity and the way it combines freshness and volume.
Viticulture
Grapes from various plots at Quinta do Paço de Teixeiró.
Winemaking
The grapes carefully selected for this wine are destemmed and crushed before being transferred to the press, where the must remains in contact with the skins for approximately five hours. This is followed by gentle pressing and clarification of the must. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, with 40% of the batch finishing fermentation in new French oak barrels. During the five months of ageing, occasional bâtonnage is carried out.
