ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Cintila is made at the Cooperativa Santo Isidro de Pegoes, founded in 1958. The cooperative is made up of 140 winegrowers and has access to over 1,100 hectares of vineyard located in the Terras do Sado area of the Setubal Peninsula. This coastal area benefits from mineral-rich sandy soils and cooling Atlantic winds. Santo Isidro de Pegoes is one of the most forward thinking cooperatives in Portugal and their chief winemaker, Jaime Quendera one of Portugal’s most respected winemakers. Cintila, which means “shine” or “sparkle” is a dazzling range of fruit-driven wines which represent excellent value-for-money.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The Pegões vineyard is located between two Nature Reserves: the Tagus estuary to the northwest and the Sado on the southwest. To the east are the Arrabida hills and to the west the Alentejo province’s clays. The unique soil here is named “Pliocenico de Pegões”. It is a sandy soil formed over millions of years by sand transported by the rivers Tagus and Sado. It is this Mediterranean climate and soil combination that creates this unique Pegões terroir.

WINEMAKING:
Fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats with carefully selected yeasts to retain the purity of fruit. The secondary fermentation took place in tank, as per the Charmat method, which imparted a delicate sparkle to the wine.

TASTING NOTE:
Buttery, cereal-like nose leads to a rich and creamy fore-palate. Then the wonderful acidity kicks in and leaves the mouth gasping for more.

GRAPE:
Fernão Pires 100%.
