Tubarao Loureiro white, plays with your senses as the profile is similar to an Orange wine but the reality is that it doesn’t go through skin contact maceration. This wine is pressed & then goes directly to stainless tank where it stays for 4 months with the must.
Melolatic fermentation happens in the bottle. Both of these methods give a “feeling” of orange wine without actually being one!
 
Tubarao have a new homage to the classic white that Vinho Verde made famous around the world. They made a 100% Loureiro wine base, with good acidity and aromas to which they added must (previously frozen in the harvest) at the time of bottling. The results in a fresh, dry, golden-coloured, unfiltered wine with a slight second fermentation spritz in the bottle.
 
Based on one of the best grape varieties in the Minho region, due to it’s freshness and minerality, Loureiro is increasingly asserting itself as one of the best in Portugal. The grapes of Tubarão Loureiro originate in Famalicão, a region that in addition to the freshness also gives it richness, which makes it quite gastronomic.
