Aveleda Parcela do Convento

Aveleda Parcela do Convento comes from a Loureiro plot located on a granite slope, allowing for excellent soil drainage and perfect sun exposure for the concentration of aromas. The grapes are harvested by hand with bunch selection. Fermentation occurs at low temperatures in stainless steel vats, followed by prolonged aging on fine lees with bâttonage. Aging in bottle.

Tasting Notes

Of a pale yellow color, Aveleda Parcela do Convento boasts aromas of white flowers, passionfruit and citrus fruits, very typical of the variety. On the palate, this wine shows a powerful concentration, but gentile, and an incredible structure, not common in Loureiro varietals. Notes of elderflower, ripe passionfruit and lime zest are blended in an exquisite minerality, making this one endless and unforgettable.
