The producer, tasting note published in 20/04/2024
Pale yellow, greenish. Good aromatic dimension, citrus oils, menthol, peppermint. Dry, very fresh and mineral, the acidity is direct, with a hint of menthol. However, it shows volume and structure. Clean, long, and elegant finish. Worth keeping.

About this Winery
A physician by profession, an oenologist by passion, João Madeira Afonso and his brother, upon inheriting their father's vineyards, felt that it would be sad and lacking in interest to cultivate the vines with care only to deliver the grapes to the cooperative. Thus, the first red wine was born in 1994.
The vineyards are spread across three plots in the Pinhel sub-region: Rogenda, Mortórios, and Quinta do Vale do Ruivo, totaling approximately 16 hectares. Of these, 7 hectares are dedicated to old vines, where traditional Portuguese native grape varieties are mixed, with Baga and Rufete dominating for reds, and Síria, Arinto, and Fonte Cal for whites. Among the others, we find no less important Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Franca, Chardonnay, Riesling, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Verdelho.
It is from the grapes of this terroir that José Madeira Afonso creates DOC Beira Interior wines that are the true expression of the best the region has to offer."
