Fraga do Corvo is the name given locally to the landscape, an area of Monterrei nearby one of the vineyards. In September, Corvos (crows) sit on the electric power lines near the vineyards and perform a “natural” grape selection. The crows help by eating some of the fruit creating lower yields and thus provide a very important and helpful task for the winery. The winery decided to name the wine Fraga do Corvo as a tribute to the crows for their grape selection, as well as the name for the landscape nearby.
100% estate fruit. Manual harvest and grape selection done bunch by bunch. Temperature controlled fermentation.
Aged in stainless steel on fine lees for 7 months. After at least 5 months bottle aging before release. The wine is never filtered, nor clarified for added structure.
On the nose it reveals floral aromas, intense fruit notes of apple and pear, citrus and aromatic herbs on a bed of boxwood.
On the palate it shows creamy texture, with well-balanced and pleasant acidity of fresh fruit, mineral, luscious with a well-rounded finish.
