The Alvarinho 2023 Granit comes from higher altitude vines at around 400 meters above sea level. This results in the wine having more salinity and verticality because of the altitude and the granite soils (it wears the subtitle “Mineral Selection”). It's tasty and has pungent flavors, depth and concentration but keeps lightness, elegance and freshness, moderate ripeness and alcohol (12.5%). It has a pH of 3.31 and 6.1 grams of acidity. It fermented at a slightly higher temperature, avoiding the excessive aromatic intensity of the grape and giving a more austere profile. Bâtonnage of three months provided good integration of the acidity. (LG)
