A special wine that honors its founder: Manoel Pedro Guedes.
In 2020, the year of Aveleda's 150th anniversary, the descendants of Manoel Pedro Guedes decided to create a wine that could bring together, in a single bottle, all the values that were at the origin of the brand.
Inspired by Quinta da Aveleda's first blend, this wine uses only selected Loureiro and Alvarinho grapes from the estate's best plots. The grapes are harvested by hand and transported in small boxes, selected berry by berry and gently pressed.
Fermentation takes place 50% in stainless steel and 50% in French oak barrels. Aging lasts 8 months: half in stainless steel, half in barrels (50% new, 50% used). Only the best batches are bottled, with rest in the bottle before being released to the market.
Between generations and dreams, a living tribute to time, the land, and the vision of a founder.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Slightly smoky notes of honeysuckle stand out with citrus nuances of lime blossom.
Flavor: On the palate, it has hints of fresh grapefruit, enveloped by the smoothness of aging in wood. A very elegant wine with a long and persistent finish.
Pairings
Ideal with Mediterranean cuisine based on roasted fish and grilled white meats. It can also be paired with vegetarian dishes such as ratatouille and finished with a citrus dessert.
Serving Suggestions
• Serve at a temperature between 10º and 12ºC
• Store horizontally in a cool, dry place away from light
• Great aging potential. Enjoy now or store for 10 to 15 years
Inspired by the first blend produced at Aveleda, Manoel Pedro Guedes wine is a symbol of the family's heritage and values.
