Production of Lancers White Sangria - José Maria da Fonseca

The Lancers White Sangria - José Maria da Fonseca is produced at the traditional house of José Maria da Fonseca, which is based in Vila Nogueira de Azeitão in Portugal. The mild, Atlantic-influenced climate with many hours of sunshine and cool breezes offers excellent conditions for aromatic white grape varieties. The vines grow on diverse soils characterized by calcareous layers, clay and sandy components. This diversity allows for a multifaceted style and supports the clear, fruit-driven orientation of the cuvée.

The grapes reach the winery at carefully controlled ripeness. Gentle harvesting ensures aromatic grapes with fresh acidity structure. After the harvest, gentle processing follows, with the berries being pressed quickly. Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves the primary aromas of pineapple, lime, passion fruit and peach. Cool maturation enhances the crisp freshness and clear fruit character.

For the sangria base, a harmonious white wine from various grape varieties is first created. This is then refined with selected aromas and components that underscore the exotic character. Maturation in tank preserves freshness, spritziness and the radiant color. Targeted blending lends the final product its characteristic balance of fruit richness, light sweetness and lively acidity.

The style of the house of José Maria da Fonseca combines long tradition with a modern signature. Precise cellar work, clear aroma focus and a distinctly Mediterranean character take center stage. This philosophy is reflected in every facet of Lancers White Sangria: aromatic, light-footed, uncomplicated and with a clear focus on drinking pleasure.
