The property’s 61 hectares of vines are spread across the rich clay-limestone soils that dominate the gentle hills of this estate. The entire vineyard is dry farmed, meaning no irrigation is used. Here, the most important white variety in the world, Chardonnay, is planted and meticulously cared for. This grape is vinified using gravity flow winemaking. Besides the estate’s iconic white wine, Principal, this Chardonnay also produces another wine that takes advantage of this exceptional limestone terroir: Calcario3 do Principal.
LOCATION: S. Lourenço do Bairro, Anadia, Portugal (Bairrada DOC)
TERROIR: Atlantic influenced climate, protected by the Caramulo and Bussaco Hills. Vineyards planted at high density (up to 6172 plants per hectare) on gentle hills of clay-limestone soils. Completely dry farmed.
VARIETALS: Chardonnay (100%)
SERVING TEMP: Serve between 8-10 Cº.
STORAGE: In a cool dry place (12 a 14 Cº) away from direct sunlight and without big fluctuations in temperature.
AGEING ABILITY: The wine is perfect to drink now, but will evolve positively up to 2030-32.
Bright yellow with greenish tinge. First impression of light toastiness, that gives place to citric and stone fruit combined with wet stones. Medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity and linear minerality that dances on the palate, giving a pleasant sensation of bright, crisp freshness right that lingers until the end.
