The wine is deep and refined, fresh and vibrant, and is not aged in oak barrels.

This wine is made from Portugal’s native white grape variety Avesso, using the “Curtimenta” method — the traditional Portuguese term for orange wine production. This technique involves extended skin and seed contact during fermentation, resulting in a deeper structure, golden-orange hue, and complex aromas. The word Curtimenta comes from the Latin corticare, meaning “to be in contact with the skin.” Unlike typical white wines that are fermented without skins, this method applies red-winemaking logic to white grapes, creating a wine that combines the structure of a red, the aromas of a white, and the character of a natural wine.

‍

Winery: Quinta da Raza
Serving Temperature: 10°C–12°C

‍

Winemaking:
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified as whole clusters. After destemming, fermentation begins in centuries-old granite lagares using native yeasts. Traditional foot-treading is employed to gently macerate the grapes, allowing prolonged skin and seed contact during fermentation — a process that gives the wine its distinctive orange-golden color. This ancestral technique is known in Portuguese as Curtimenta. When roughly two-thirds of fermentation is complete, the must is transferred to stainless steel tanks to finish the process. After fermentation, the wine rests and clarifies naturally before bottling once it reaches the desired clarity.

‍

Tasting Notes:
Color: Golden with orange hues.
Aroma & Palate: Complex and expressive, revealing notes of bay leaf, orange peel, spices, and floral undertones. Full-bodied and structured, with excellent tension, layered texture, and a long, persistent finish. Suitable for vegetarians.

Food Pairing:
Pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, red meat dishes, rich fish, flavorful cuisine, and cheeses.

The grapes used to produce this wine come from the Calvestra vineyard, a Mediterranean mountain vineyard located in Utiel-Requena at an altitude of 900 meters. Surrounded by pine, oak, and olive trees, the vineyard thrives in lush greenery filled with rosemary, fennel, and thyme.
The soils are composed of dolomitic limestone with a chalky-sandy texture. The Merseguera vines are grafted onto old Bobal rootstocks. Traditional dry-farming methods are employed, using both gobelet (en vaso) and trellis training systems, with complete respect for the environment.

‍

Winemaking/Features :

Made from grapes from the "Las Carretas" vineyard, situated in a well-protected, south-facing valley which provides lots of intense sunlight. The good October weather meant we were able to harvest this variety late and in ideal state of health, with good phenolic maturation.

Aroma : At first, intense nuances of citrus peel and spices like white pepper, turmeric, saffron. If you swirl the wine in the glass, reminders of its ageing in fine oak casks appear, with hints of bay leaf and Williams's pear.

Food Pairing :

Pair this wine well with Spanish food like tapas. Would also be a perfect match for fish stew, lobster and paella.
