Vinification of Mainova Moinante Branco Encruzado

The balanced Moinante Branco Encruzado from Portugal is a varietal wine, vinified from the Encruzado grape. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Alentejo. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into soils of slate and granite. Once perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for the Moinante Branco Encruzado are harvested exclusively by hand, without the use of coarse, non-selective mechanical harvesters. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery, where they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation has finished, the Moinante Branco Encruzado is allowed to further harmonize for several months on the fine lees.
