This wine is made through fermentation of ripped Fernão Pires grapes in stainless steel vats with rather high temperatures. No oak in the fermentation or aging. 3 to 4 days with skin contact in the vats.
Fernão Pirão has a beautiful texture, colour and complexity. Aromas of ripe melon and stone white fruit with some resin and pepper coming. Thre is good body and balance in between being fresh and mature making it a super interesting style. The slightly oxidised notes are notable on the nose. As for the palate, it is a perfumed wine with really interesting layers.
It goes well with Moroccan style dishes with cumin, pepper, cinnamon spices. Caramelised vegetable medly , lamb chops, grilled octopus.
