Colares Malvasia

Malvasia de Colares from Ramilo's ungrafted vines in the sand at Quinta do Cameijo, about a kilometre from the Atlantic. For the 2021 the harvest was split. Part was pressed straight off and fermented as free-run juice in small steel tanks, part fermented on its skins in a lagar, both with their own yeasts.

The two were then aged together for 18 months in French oak and four more in bottle, and the wine went out unfined and unfiltered. The DOC minimum for a white is six months in wood and three in bottle.
