Monte Bluna Vital 2021

The lawyer and oenophile António Guerreiro relied on the enthusiastic winemaker Nuno Martins to revolutionize the region of Arruda dos Vinhos. In a beautiful hillside vineyard, with limestone and clay-limestone soils from the Jurassic, with incredible potential, they achieve excellent freshness and tension in the wines. Agriculture is sustainable in the 6 hectares of production, and the focus is on delivering the best Aragonez in the country, from an old vineyard, as well as expressions full of character from the autochthonous grape varieties or already typical of the region, approved by the DOC Arruda: Arinto and Vital, Tinta Miúda and Syrah.

Wine:
Kimeridgian clay-limestone terroir in DOC Arruda, located at over 300 meters above sea level, between the sea and the Tagus. This Vital ferments in barrels, without temperature control. The same barrels, being French, of 225 and 400 liters, are used for the malolactic and for the 4-month aging. 

A white that unites the inviting texture of Vital with a lot of tension and verticality, rare characteristics in the variety, but very present in top-of-the-range wines made in limestone and cool climates. Immensely saline finish.
