Description

The Hugo Mendes Tejo Oak white is crafted from hand-harvested grapes, partially fermented in used French oak barrels and stainless steel, followed by extended ageing that enhances its complexity and integration. It shows a bright yellow colour and an expressive nose, with notes of citrus, fresh stone fruit, mineral hints, and subtle touches of toast and smoke. On the palate, it is vibrant and well-balanced, with the natural acidity of Arinto defining its profile, revealing intensity, freshness and an elegant creaminess on the finish.

Born and raised in Ribeira de Santarém, Hugo Mendes studied Biotechnology Engineering but his passion for wine has spoken louder and since the 2006 vintage he has devoted himself entirely to oenology. Lover of communicating art to consumers, is a habitual presence on social networks. Since 2008 has been feeding a blog dedicated to uncomplicating oenology for oenophiles. Became a producer in his own name in the vintage of 2016, having for this purpose held the first crowdfunding in Portugal to finance a wine.
