Monte da Casteleja Palhete

A characterful, lightly grippy palhete from Guillaume Leroux’s certified organic estate with red and black fruits of the forest, fresh acidity, lifted floral and bass notes of earthy brine – real gout de terroir!

80% Bastardo, 20% Sousão

The grapes were hand-harvested in the third week of August. Following crushing the grapes and juice remained in contact with the skins until the start of (spontaneous) fermentation, when the grapes were pressed into old 500l barrels, where the wine spent 6 months. It was bottled without fining or filtration. This wine was made with no added sulphites.

Serve lightly chilled 12-14°C
