Riesling Dócil
Riesling is one of the world’s great white grape varieties. Since 2003 we have been cultivating this variety in the Douro Valley, with our inspiration being the Mosel region, where Riesling reaches its full potential and creates incredibly light wines of razor-sharp precision and perfect balance between sugar and acidity. The “Au Au” Riesling (with its onomatopoeic name referring to a dog’s bark) is much like the animal: loyal and with its own individual character. Vinification: The 2018 vintage was excellent for the Riesling. The weather conditions throughout the year in the regions planted with Riesling vines ripened the grapes beautifully and provided perfectly healthy fruit, with high acidity levels and low alcohol. Harvesting took place at the beginning of October. After the grapes were transported chilled to Quinta de Nápoles, they were sorted meticulously before being pressed gently without any maceration time. The juice was left to cold-settle for approximately 48 hours, then was racked into stainless steel tanks where it fermented at low temperatures in order to preserve the aromatic intensity.
