The wine is produced at Quinta de Azevedo in the Barcelos\u003cbr\u003ecommune— the top quality area for Vinho Verde production. Pneumatic\u003cbr\u003epresses are used for gentle pressing to extract free run juice. A slow\u003cbr\u003efermentation takes place under controlled temperatures of 61°F, to protect\u003cbr\u003ethe character of the Loureiro grape. Broadbent uses a special yeast (QA21)\u003cbr\u003ewhich gives a special character to the wine. This yeast was developed in\u003cbr\u003etheir vineyards, and is now used all over the world. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003cbr\u003eThe freshly sliced apple fruitiness combined with citrus acidity give this fruity wine an attractive lively\u003cbr\u003echaracter.
