✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled at the foot of the dramatic Serra da Arrabida, the vineyards for Serras de Azeitao Branco benefit from a unique microclimate where hot Mediterranean sun meets cooling Atlantic breezes. This wine is a vibrant expression of the Peninsula de Setubal, crafted to capture the youthful, aromatic essence of the region's traditional white varieties. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, it avoids oak contact to preserve its bright, crisp fruit profile. The name Serras de Azeitao pays homage to the rolling hills surrounding the historic town of Azeitao, a region steeped in winemaking history dating back to Roman times.
