The grapes macerated with skins, are pressed and then, decant in an inox vats. The fermentation should be done with temperature control, around 12 to 14º C. Then, the wine aged "sur lies" for 2 months, is filtered and bottled. Aphros Loureiro is a clean wine with a lemony nose and a touch of petals. A fresh wash of lime, grapefruit and perfumed melon invades the mouth, guided by the acidic, mineral edge which is the axis of the wine. Waxy texture and persistent uplifting finish.
