Prelude 2023

white wine

Like its musical namesake, our Caprice was born from a creative whim – yet every detail of its vinification is meticulously crafted. Made from 100% Alvarinho grapes planted in 2016 on a small patch of sand at the edge of the forest, it ferments slowly in a glass demijohn and then matures gently on its fine lees.

On the palate, the Caprice surprises with an atypical richness for Alvarinho: salty minerality meets creamy texture, playful fruit meets cool precision. This interplay makes every tasting a joyful yet profound experience – just like a musical caprice, combining virtuoso lightness with masterful discipline.

Year description

Year description, possibly dynamic 2023 (white): A warm year with successful flowering and fruit set, apart from slightly cooler periods in July. A tropically humid June brought the most severe downy mildew attacks in years; the remainder of the season was characterized by a "season in two halves" with heat spikes at the end of August/beginning of September and an unusually long harvest. The dry white wines are aromatic, precise, and fresh, with good acidity and moderate alcohol.
