Quinta do Ameal Special Harvest Loureiro 375ml 2015 cake-wines carnations and orchid flowersTo make this sweet white, late harvest grapes are air dried prior to vinification, concentrating sugar in the must. This process takes several weeks from early November and the grapes are turned and inspected 3 times weekly to avoid rot and mould. The must is partially fermented in old wine barrels, a slow fermentation which stops in the cold of late winter. The resultant wine is 12% a v with just over 100 grams of residual sugar. 600 half bottles
