The cool nights and the sunny and moisty afternoons, influenced by the great proximity to the river Tagus, makes the Quinta do Casal Monteiro Estate a perfect place to produce wines with Botrytis cinera. The grapes in this wine were carefully hand selected during the Autumn of 2020 thus ensuring the presence of Botrytis Cinera.
