About this Wine

The grapes for Rabbit Dry White undergo a long maceration with the skins and stems. The final blend includes several wines aged in small old oak barrels in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, a minimum of 3 and a half years before bottling.

Tasting Notes

Golden, with a delicious aroma of nuts and almonds that lingers in the mouth with a fresh and concentrated finish, due to the long ageing in small old oak barrels. Branco Seco is excellent when served chilled as an aperitif or as a cocktail with tonic water, ice and a slice or lemon peel.

Vinification

The grapes for this wine undergo a long maceration with the skins. It is vinified in lagares, occasionally with foot treading. Fermentation continues almost to dryness before the addition of brandy. It ages in small old oak barrels in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia for a minimum of 3 and a half years before bottling.

Producer

Companhia das Lezírias

The history of Companhia das Lezírias begins in 1836, but the first vineyard was only planted in 1881. Bernardino Cincinato da Costa, an unavoidable personality in the history of vineyards and wine in Portugal, was director of the company between 1905 and 1930, a period in which he studied and published the guide to Portuguese grape varieties.

The 130 hectares of vineyards of Companhia das Lezírias are located in the heart of the protected area of the Tagus estuary, with about 30% of old vines, the vineyards have the Portuguese grape varieties occupying their largest area (Fernão Pires, Arinto, Vital among other whites and Castelão, Moreto, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca or the nationalized Alicante Bouschet among other reds).

From the ABC 2020 Commitment to the ABC 2030 Commitment: In 2013, Companhia das Lezírias established a commitment to sustainability in the production of its wines, implementing the basic principles of a green economy.

It means doing better, with a lower environmental impact, less energy and material consumption, less water consumption, less emissions into the environment, less waste production, and more respect for the Planet.
