Cortes de Cima Saline 2020

Upon her return to Portugal after years of study and experience abroad, including a bachelor’s degree from the “Harvard of viticulture and oenology”, the University of Adelaide, and internships with spectacular producers in Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Stéphane Ogier in Côte-Rotie, the “Anna of the world” decided to reveal a new and incredible Alentejo. From her admirable trials, which range from 700 metres above sea level in the Serra de São Mamede to the sea level of her vineyards on the Alentejo Coast, the refinement, precision and freshness reverberate with contagious energy. The exploration of the terroir, organic cultivation and unique care with viticulture give life to extremely vertical wines full of “drama factor”.

Wine:
The fruit of the restlessness and irreverence of Anna Jorgensen and Dirk Niepoort. A 100% Loureiro wine that reveals the saline personality of the Alentejo coast. From the vineyards on the cool sands of the Atlantic coast, hand-picked followed by selection and pressing of the whole bunches. This wine fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, part in used 500-liter French oak barrels and part in stainless steel with light maceration. Aged for 12 months.
