Located in the middle of two important rivers, near Braga, PAÇO DE PALMEIRA is one of the most magnificent estates in the Minho region. Built as a residence intended for the leisure of princes, archbishops, and the most illustrious aristocracy of the region. Currently with 24 hectares, these vineyards benefit from the unique conditions of the site and rigorous viticulture, giving the best grapes of the native variety Loureiro and creating wines that are immensely expressive and destinated for long ageing. Atlantic-influenced climate. Vineyards planted on depressive soils of granite. High density plantation for better root penetration.

Lightly chilled pre-fermentation maceration. Gentle pressing. Fermentation in stainless steel with controlled temperature. Final stage of fermentation finishes in very old used french oak barrels (+10year old). Bâtonnage is carried out for the first 6 months. Malolactic fermentation may occur in some barrels. After 12 months in the barrels, the wine is transferred to stainless steel tanks, finned and filtered and then bottled. It is released to the market with at least 1 year of ageing in the bottle.
