VINU | MARITIME TERROIR

GÉNESE

Génese represents the origin and symbolizes Manuel and Luís Cerdeira’s roots in Melgaço, their homeland.

Génese is the 100% Alvarinho wine from Monção and Melgaço, made from selected vineyards on the mountain slopes.

Winemaking follows a blend of slow fermentation in stainless steel and partial aging in Mixtus barrels, crafted from different wood origins.

Terroir

Moderate maritime. Vineyards near the sea with mild winters and hot, dry summers.

The sea breeze brings salinity, freshness, and a moderate temperature range during ripening, enhancing the intense aromatic profile.

Granite with above-average clay content. This unique soil adds structure and complexity to the wines, moderating the acidity of the grapes.

Aromatically intense wine, structured and round on the palate, saline, slightly floral, and fruity with good aging potential.
