Monte Bluna Vital is a wine with a straw yellow colour. The aroma is very distinctive, guided by the quality and remarkable richness of multiple dimensions. It presents white-fleshed fruit, delicate floral notes and herbal hints. The wood is well integrated and brings dried fruits and brioche, all set against a background of limestone that lingers in the memory. In the mouth it is elegant, exquisitely balanced between the generosity of the body, full of substance and vibrant freshness. The finish is admirable in its length and enveloping.

  • Soil: The uniqueness and excellence of Monte Bluna wines are a consequence of the peculiarity and unique qualities of its terroir. Monte Bluna’s vineyards are located in Lisbon, Arruda dos Vinhos, on a pristine hillside located in the basin of the Rio Grande da Pipa, which is part of the basin of the River Tagus. The vineyards are located at high altitude, on slopes of varying steepness, flanked by the river to the east, the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Montejunto mountain range to the north, on clay-limestone and limestone soils. Although they are over 300 metres high, marine fossils can still be found in these soils, which mix with the dense native shrub vegetation that coexists with the vineyards. Monte Bluna’s vineyards are located in three distinct geological formations: the Abadia Formation, the Coralic Formation of Amaral and the Sobral Formation, geological units of a sedimentary nature that date back 157 Ma, from the Jurassic period, from the lower and middle Kimeridgian to the Tithonian. The soils are calcareous Cambiosols, which means that they result from the alteration of a rocky substrate characterized by the predominance of carbonate formations, and therefore their composition is rich in calcium. The vineyards are located on moderately sloping, sunny slopes, with diverse exposures (S, NW and W), but always windy (predominant NW winds). They have a NW-SSE orientation and are trained in bilateral cordon. The climate is warm Mediterranean with moderate drought, although characterized by the specificity of the location, strongly marked by altitude, temperature range, proximity to the Atlantic and rivers, orogeny, relief and also by the prevailing northerly winds that are felt all year round. Monte Bluna's viticulture is based on the principles of Sustainable Agriculture (Integrated Production), does not use herbicides and has balance and the ecosystem as its fundamental pillars. It aims to capitalize on and invest in the national and regional agricultural heritage, ensuring its sustainability, preservation, diversity and perpetuation.
  • Winemaking: Single-varietal wine made from a rare, indigenous grape variety from the Lisbon region. The grapes were hand-picked and placed in small 20 kg boxes. In the winery, the grapes were hand-picked again and then destemmed. The grapes were crushed (passively) before being transported to the press, where they underwent a short maceration and soft pressing. Fermentation was carried out at room temperature and finished in the cask. The malolactic transformation took place in these same casks. 400 L and 225 L French oak casks from the Allier forest were used, with various low-intensity toasting regimes. It aged in these same casks for 4 months, until its bottling on June 8, 2022, and began to be sold in 2022. To preserve its quality, Monte Bluna Vital 2021 was bottled without treatment, which could give rise to the formation of natural deposits.
