NV Broadbent Vinho Verde
| Description: | Broadbent Vinho Verde Nv. Harvest/vintage Notes:. Vinho Verde is traditionally non-vintage and consumed quickly, so the wine on the shelf will always be a fresh bottling. The way to make a proper Vinho Verde is to suppress the malolactic fermentation and inject carbon dioxide at bottling to give the wine its characteristic spritz. We use pneumatic presses for gentle pressing to extract the free run juice and fermentation is around 16 degrees centigrade, which gives a slow fermentation which, in turn, protects the character of the Loureiro grape. We use special yeast Qa21 which was developed in our vineyards and is now used all over the world. It gives a special character to our wines, which are produced at Quinta de Azevedo. Technical Information:. 50% Loureiro, 40% Trajadura, & 10% Pedernã. Alcohol: 9.0 % vol. Residual Sugar: 1.48 g/L. pH: 2.92. Total Acidity: 7.1 g/L. |
