J. Cabral Almeida
J. Cabral Almeida began in 2010 as a winemaker’s quest to show the rich diversity of the portuguese terroirs.
The place where it all started was the Vinhos Verdes wine region. Meanwhile the company has grown from its origins by expanding into other two historical wine regions with a very deep tradition, the Dão and Douro Valley.

Harvest
Careful hand sorting, gentle destemming, then transferred to small, open-top tanks. Fermentation with native yeast at the medium temperature of 79F. At the last third of fermentation the wine was racked into used 750 liters french oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation and aging was done.

“The secret in making a great wine is quality fruit, finding the balance in each vintage and waiting for the perfect timing to bottle it”
Catalog
Camaleão
Alvarinho - 2019
On the nose, fresh citric and floral aromas, combined with mineral and tropical fruit notes. On the mouth it is clean and precise with a crisp acidity and a freshly textured minerality.
