O Branco dos Villões is a wine that brings together some of the grape varieties that helped build the fame of Madeira wines: Sercial and Folgasão – also known as Terrantez in Madeira Wine. The name “Villões” comes from the nickname that the inhabitants of Porto Santo give to Madeirenses. Madeirenses, in turn, reciprocate by calling the inhabitants of Porto Santo “Profetas” (Prophets). This is the spirit of the Profetas & Villões project: celebrating the two islands, their history, their fraternal rivalry, and their viticultural identity. Pale yellow color. Pure, citrus aroma with notes of fresh tart fruit. Tense, acidic attack with very present salinity. Good persistence.

Technical Sheet
  • Soil: Training system: pergola on a slope. Vine age: approx. 12 to 30 years. Soils: volcanic, leptosols or andosols.
  • Winemaking: The grapes were hand-picked on Madeira Island and transported in 40kg crates to Porto Santo Island. They were selected on a sorting table and whole bunches were directly pressed into settling tanks, where three fractions were separated, without any use of SO2 until the end of fermentation, to allow for pre-oxidation of the must and a fuller spontaneous fermentation. The must fermented in horizontal stainless steel tanks, remaining on full lees for 9 months.
  • Tasting Notes: Pale yellow colour. Pure, citrus aroma with notes of fresh sour fruit. Tense, acidic attack with a very present salinity. Good persistence.
