STORY: The Mainova winery is located in southern Portugal, in the sparsely populated Alentejano region. Mainova is a very young project, founded in 2019, which, in addition to viticulture, is also dedicated to the production of excellent olive oils.
-
VINIFICATION: After being picked by hand, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house to be sorted and carefully broken. After fermentation in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures, the wine is aged in oak barrels for a few months.
-
JUDGEMENT: Presents itself in the glass citrus yellow. Mineral nose with notes of citrus fruits (green pineapple, light melon, grapefruit, quince). Animating acidity, tart freshness, voluminous on the palate. Elegant Branco with a medium-long finish.
-
SERVING RECOMMENDATION : Very good with light steamed fish, also harmonises wonderfully with Mediterranean salads, vegetable dishes/casseroles with fennel and peppers and goat's cheese.
-
SERVING TEMPERATURE: 12°C
The relatively young Mainova winemaking team was only founded in 2019 by José Luís Monteiro and his family. Father and mother have placed the responsibility for this in the hands of their youngest daughter Bárbara, hence the name: Mainova means “the baby of the family” in Portuguese. The likeable and committed young woman and a young team take care of the sustainable care of the 20 hectares of their own vineyards. Sustainability plays a major role at Mainova, chemical additives are used to a limited extent and the rules of organic farming are adapted to the circumstances where necessary, always in accordance with organic guidelines.
