The fame of Cheleiros dates back to the Neolithic, passing through the Romans and Moors, but it is in the 50s that the stories and memories of wine begin to characterize the village. Manzwine’s project promises to transport you to a time when this village was famous for the quality of its vineyards and orchards, the result of good land, planting on slopes and terraces and a unique micro climate, demarcating the border between the maritime influence and the mild protection of the Cheleiros stream. We present the batch of the first wine made exclusively with the almost extinct Jampal Grape. Elegant, with a good acidity in the mouth; The new barrel gives it an added complexity. In the aroma it is full, ample and very imposing.
Vinification
Total destemming. Pre-fermentative skin maceration. Fermentation in a small volume stainless steel tank, with temperature control. Final fermentation in French oak barrels, where it aged for 6 months in a “bâtonnage” system.
Tasting Notes
Citrus in colour and with a fruity (apricot, banana and lime) and floral (citrus) aromas, it combines with aromatic nuances of captivating complexity with soft notes of toast, vanilla and coconut. On the palate, the unctuousness and good body harmonized by a firm acidity , in a fresh, aromatic, persistent and enveloping whole.
