Gazela Vinho Verde White
Gazela has a very light colour, with a slight fizz that enhances its bouquet, flavours and freshness. Aromatic and engaging, Gazela adds to its citrine and tropical fruit notes a lively and stimulating acidity. The end product is an elegant, versatile and very attractive wine.
40% Loureiro, 30% Pedernã, 15% Trajadura, 15% Azal
The grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. The resulting must is separated from skins in pneumatic presses and subjected to static decanting for 24 hours, suitably protected from oxidation, until it reaches the required level of clarity. Fermentation in stainless steel vats then follows, under a controlled temperature of about 16ºC.
Gazela is ideal with salads, light fish or seafood dishes, or just as an aperitif.
