“Fontanário de Pegões” White 2022 – Pegões

To produce “Fontanário de Pegões” White Pegões a light maceration was followed by alcoholic fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, in order to preserve the aromatics of the “Fontanário de Pegões” White Pegões varieties.

The Pegões vineyard is located between two Nature Reserves: the Tagus estuary to the Northwest and the Sado on the Southwest. To the east are the Arrabida hills and to the west the Alentejo province’s clays. The unique soil here is named “Pliocenico de Pegões”. It is a sandy soil formed over millions of years by sand transported by the rivers Tagus and Sado. It is this Mediterranean climate and soil combination that creates this unique Pegões terroir.
