PASMADOS 2015
WHITE WINE
V.R. PENÍNSULA DE SETÚBAL
This wine comes from the Pasmados estate. With 18 hectares of vine it is located in the foothills of the Arrábida Mountain in the Setúbal Península, five kilometres to
the west of Azeitão. In 1998 we decided to change the blend of the grape varieties, with Chardonnay
giving way to Viosinho. Another change was also introduced. The Arinto and
Esgana grape varieties were no longer grown on clay-limestone soils, but were
moved to sandy ones. In 2005 the Viognier grape variety, which has existed in our
vineyards for over 40 years, was added to the blend to increase complexity. In 2008
we removed Esgana grape variety from the blend, allowing the wine to gain
greater personality.
Pasmados white is one of the top white wines from José Maria da Fonseca being
released only after a minimum period of two years after the harvest.
