Manoel Pedro Guedes 2018

Manoel Pedro Guedes is a wine that is the result of meticulous viticulture and vinification, complemented by rigorous selection throughout the production process. Inspired by the first blend created at Quinta da Aveleda, only the best Loureiro and Alvarinho grapes from the best parcels of the Quinta go into this wine.

The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks (50%) and French oak barrels (50%) and then aged for 8 months: 50% stainless steel and 50% French oak, half of which is new wood and half old barrels. Only a small portion of the wine is bottled, with only the best samples from stainless steel tanks and oak barrels going into the final blend. This final blend is then bottled and aged for 1 year.

The blend of hand-picked Alvarinho and Loureiro grapes presents a perfectly harmonious bouquet: notes of jasmine, vanilla and lime peel, mingling with sweet pineapple notes.

On the palate, this wine begins to reveal its essence: a unique minerality, supported by a buttery body that fills your senses. Vibrant notes of ripe grapefruit, pineapple and lime are followed by more subdued aromas of wet gravel and a hint of vanilla.
