2021 Vale de Lobos Gewürztraminer white

A white wine produced by the first must of the Gewürztraminer grape variety, in order to obtain a wine of citrus colour with tropical notes and slight minerality. In the end of the mouth it becomes creamy and persistent.

The Quinta da Ribeirinha is situated in Póvoa de Santarém, in the Tejo region. The passion for wine and, more than that, the constant dedication to the wine activity has been crossing the Cândido family for several generations. José Cândido, the patriarch of the family, developed his professional activity as a farmer from an early age, with wine being his main source of income. Some years later, José Cândido's activity is inherited by his son Joaquim Cândido, a doctor and passionate for vitiviniculture, who decided to support the family business, continuing with the plantation of new vineyard areas, building his own winery and, following the technological evolution, applying scientific methods in the production process. Shortly afterwards, two of his children, Mariana and Rui, an economist and biochemist by training, completed the team which today takes on the administrative functions of the company. Oenology is in the hands of César Machado.
