{"product_id":"permitido-branco-centenaria-2019-douro","title":"Permitido Branco 2019 Centenária - Douro","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis highly complex white wine comes from a 120-year-old vineyard in Douro Superior, on granite soil, 800 meters above sea level, combining so many aromas: On a very mineral base (flint and damp stone) sit juicy, fruity notes of dried apricot, pineapple and ripe citrus fruits. Lively, very full-bodied and supple, yet light and fresh. \u003cbr\u003eA “serious” wine that leaves a long finish with subtle nuances of bitter citrus peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine was fermented spontaneously and without temperature control in huge (700-liter) vats, where it aged on the lees for 10 months. It is a so-called “field blend” of at least 15 autochthonous Portuguese grape varieties such as Folgazão, Dona Branca, Verdelho, Siria, Malvasia, Rabigato and many others. \u003cbr\u003eIt was bottled unfiltered and unstabilized, and like all wines by Márcio Lopes, it is as natural as possible, because all of Márcio’s wines share a common denominator: minimal intervention both in the vineyard and in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eThis wine has a very intense citrus aroma, fresh notes and plenty of minerality. Very harmonious on the palate with a very long, persistent body and endless freshness.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing suggestion: Red meat and spicier dishes. Ideal temperature: 12ºC. \u003cbr\u003eCan be enjoyed immediately or over the next 10 to 20 years, provided it is stored in a cool, dry and dark place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe name of this wine “Permitido” (German: allowed) comes from the fact that the grapes come from the hills between 650 and 800 meters above sea level, where you can find tranquility and breathe pure air, and where everyone is allowed to dream, live and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMárcio Lopes: The Rising Star in Vinho Verde.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMárcio Lopes was born in Porto in 1983 and spent many summer holidays with his grandparents in the Porto hinterland, where they grew corn and wheat and also produced wine. At the age of 6, his grandmother put him in a lagar (a traditional Portuguese granite vat used for winemaking) so that he could stomp the grapes in it with his feet, as is still traditionally done today. This was the first of many, many wines that young Márcio has produced since then. The rest is history …\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Marcio Lopes\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/0763\/files\/marcio_sessel_1.jpg?v=1590433622\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlready a year before graduating in agricultural engineering in 2006, Márcio began working with the famous winemaker Anselmo Mendes in Melgaço. In 2008, he went to Australia, where he was responsible for two vintages in Rutherglen and Tasmania. In 2010, he started his own project “Pequenos Rebentos” (Portuguese for “little shoots”) in the Minho region, the home of Vinhos Verdes. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marcio Lopes Winemaker","offers":[{"title":"75 cl bottle","offer_id":31221385920595,"sku":"MP-PERM-MARCI-2163","price":29.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/0763\/products\/permitido-branco-centenaria-douro-maitre-philippe-filles-marcio-lopes-winemaker-698572.jpg?v=1774991434","url":"https:\/\/www.maitrephilippe.at\/en\/products\/permitido-branco-centenaria-2019-douro","provider":"Maître Philippe \u0026 Filles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
