Pequeno Eremita 2025 White Wine

Pequeno Eremita White unveils a refreshingly crisp and elegant profile, with a pronounced minerality inherited from the limestone/granite soil, balancing the natural creaminess of the antique grape varieties. To fully appreciate its aromatic complexity and texture, it should be stored between 6-8 °C, served around 10 °C, and ideally consumed at 12 °C. This wine is a fantastic gastronomic choice, pairing perfectly with fatty fish, shellfish, or white meats. Its exquisite characteristics make it a delicious addition to any meal, enhancing the dining experience with its unique blend of flavors.

Pequeno Eremita is an organic wine crafted by the esteemed winemaker, António Maçanita. It is part of the Fitapreta project and produced under the umbrella of the Chão dos Eremitas range, in the DOC Alentejo. This unique creation is the result of a meticulous process that combines traditional methods with a modern twist, embodying a fusion of age-old viticultural roots and a vibrant, youthful identity.

The wine aims to bring a fresh and youthful identity to a historical terroir with deep roots in Portuguese viticulture. The harvest is done manually and at night. The wine undergoes spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation (without the addition of sulfites until the end of fermentation). The aging process is performed over static lees: 66% in stainless steel deposits and 33% in used French oak barrels for 9 months. This careful process ensures the creation of a wine that captures the rich essence of its origins, while also embodying a unique identity of its own.
