Maritime Terroir — Requião, Vila Nova de Famalicão

Almanua

Almanua is the wine of discovery and innovation, crafted in Requião, in the maritime terroir. Here, the versatility of Alvarinho is explored in combination with other varieties planted in the same location. Alvarinho remains the dominant variety, and the blends are chosen with each harvest. The winemaking follows the Mixtus concept, with the final wine resulting from fermentation in stainless steel and oak, the latter used lightly to add structure to the blend. In 2024, Manuel and Luís Cerdeira selected the Arinto and Maria Gomes varieties to complement Alvarinho in the final blend.
