Chão do Prado Escolha 2007

15.5 / 20
Producer: Chão do Prado
Region: Bucelas
Country: Portugal







A Bucelas white staged in oak, this has a fresh and simple bouquet, where citrus impressions - orange skin and orange flowers - mix with some dried fruits notes, and a slight mineral touch also appears, bringing to mind rubber.


Average structure in the palate, with green apples coming to mind, well integrated with some heavier, buttery notes from the stage in oak. Medium-length persistence, with the finale coming along as dry - maybe due to the Sercial used? The ending also reveals a more mineral side that is quite refreshing.
