MONTE VELHO ORGANIC White 2022
Wine Concept
A wine for all occasions.
Monte Velho Organic joins a family with more than 30 years of history, consistency and quality. Produced with grapes in organic production, in Reguengos de Monsaraz, it is a wine with intensity and identity, which faithfully expresses its origin.
Agriculture
Vineyards certified in organic production mode.
The 2022 agricultural year was a dry year. During the vegetative rest period (autumn-winter) and spring, there were mild temperatures and low precipitation values. In the vineyard, budbreak was early, as in the previous year, and moderate temperatures anticipated vegetative development. The very high temperatures and the lack of water in the summer contributed to distant maturation between the varieties, resulting in a precision harvest with a special focus on the expression of each variety.
