Type of wine:
Pássaros Loureiro comes from Lima sub region, birth place of Loureiro grape variety. This region has granitic soils, deep and poor in organic matter. The vineyards are in half-hillside with a south-facing aspect along the sides of the Lima river receiving therefore all the freshness from the Atlantic ocean. This influence determines all the freshness and aromatic exuberance of the wine. This terroir provides in this way a wine full of freshness with a crystalline acidity and a marked salinity.

Key points
Handpicked grapes into small boxes and carried to the winery, in a refrigerated environment, in a short period of time. Pressing of the whole de-stemmed grape. Cold clarification for 48-72h. Long fermentation at low temperatures of 14- 18ºC. Minimum 3-month ageing on fine lees with regular bâtonnage.

Tasting notes
Fresh nose with notes of pineapple, apple, tangerine and bay leaf. On the mouth light with a strong presence of pineapple and tangerine. Good acidity with a long and saline end.
