Quinta do Ermizio Description
Vinho Verde is Loureiro and Trajadura from the estate’s 15 hectares of vines, all cultivated in the traditional pergola system and farmed with limited interventions and abundant cover crops. The soils are granitic and elevation is around 500 meters. The grapes were harvested by hand, then pressed and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic conversion is blocked and the wine rests in the same vessels before bottling.
The vineyards are lush and green, farmed in traditional methods: the soils are not disturbed and treatments are largely organic and only used when absolutely necessary. The vines are trained in pergolas to help protect the ripening grapes from humidity and harvested by hand. Each plot and variety is harvested and fermented separately each year to enable careful blending. Cellar work is minimalist. Fermentation and aging is done in stainless steel and the only additive is a small amount of SO2 and CO2 at bottling.
