Tasting Notes:
Segada is made only with Fernão Pires grapes. Because of that, it's perfumed, young and fresh and very refreshing. It has a touch of citrine fruits combined with tropical fruits. The intensity and persistence in the tasting reveals an excellent white wine.
How to serve:
It's excellent as aperitif and also complement of white meat and vegetarian dishes as well as spicier foods such as Indian or Chinese.
Vinification Method:
Destemming, pelicular maceration and pressing. Cooled to 15ºC, the must passes by a vacuum filter with perlites. The fermentation is achieved through active dry yeasts, the temperature being controlled between 16ºC and 18ºC.
Ageing
The wine is aged in bottle a minimum a month after bottling.
