Region:Bairrada
Country:Portugal
100% Bical and staged 9 months in oak, this older white - 5 years - is a reminder that the Bairrada is a prime terroir
for whites in Portugal.
The nose expresses the wine's age, with dried fruits appearing, along with a glyceric note. But given time, some sweet white fruit also appears and gives it some grace.
In the palate, the wine is a revelation. Although you can definitely tell it's an older white - although the evolution here is very positive - it comes along as imposing. Very structured and deep, austere and precise, the heavier glyceric notes are matched by an impressive dryness. The set results in a remarkable wine that will probably take on some more cellaring.
