Details and technical informations about Winery Quinta de Abrigada's Branco.
Discover the grape variety: Gravesina
Simple, fresh dry grey-whites with a pale pink robe with copper skin, a supple palate with moderate acidity on undemonstrative citrus and white flower aromas. Discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections, it belongs to the ancient varieties with patrimonial value whose commercial diffusion has virtually disappeared and which are studied for their genetic interest. Rare and poorly documented grey variety, grown in confidential quantities.

Fresh, mineral whites: straight, lemony Arinto (star of Bucelas), aromatic Fernão Pires, round Vital and Malvasia. Structured reds from Alenquer, sparkling at Óbidos.
The word of the wine: Green harvest or green harvesting
The practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining grapes tend to gain weight.
