Quinta Dos Aciprestes 2009

and representative of the Columbia Valley’s best

hospitality

hence the "prologue" moniker

The wine is a very pale pink highlighted

The diversity of these vineyards which represents many of the most mature

Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts and no temperature control

The palate is composed and lighter weight

The rich mouthfeel is harmonized by a lasting thread of bright acidity that lifts and maintains freshness on the long finish

160 of which (65 hectares) are planted to vines with generally a south-western exposure at an altitude of 430 feet (130 meters) above sea level

When you take your first sip there is an explosion of acidity that brings the palate to life
