Vineyard

The grapes are hand-harvested and rigorously selected upon arrival at the winery. Alcoholic fermentation takes place entirely in underground concrete tanks (cement) at controlled temperatures to protect the primary fruit aromas. A very short and gentle extraction is chosen to avoid heavy tannins. The wine then matures for several months on its fine lees (sur lie) in the same concrete tanks, without any contact with wood. Bottling occurs with minimal addition of sulfites to preserve its pure, juicy character.

Vinification

The plots are located in the sub-region of Baixo Corgo, the westernmost zone of the Douro, closest to the Atlantic Ocean. This area is characterized by significantly higher rainfall and lower average temperatures than the rest of the Douro. The soil consists of schist, yet the vineyards are greener and more lush. The vines are managed entirely organically and biodynamically, without chemical pesticides. This specific maritime influence directly translates into a lighter, extremely fresh, and fruit-driven wine style.

Mateus Nicolau de Almeida

Portugal · Douro

In het noorden van Portugal slingert de Douro zich door een diep ingesneden landschap richting Atlantische Oceaan. De wijnregio bestaat uit Douro Superior, Cima Corgo en Baixo Corgo, drie subregio’s met elk een eigen klimaat en identiteit. Ooit zwom de elft, Alosa alosa, vanuit de oceaan de volledige rivier op. Dammen maakten die trektocht onmogelijk, maar de vis leeft voort in het logo van Mateus Nicolau de Almeida. Hij symboliseert zowel de onderlinge verbondenheid als de grote diversiteit van de Douro.
