Branco 2021

This blend of indigenous white grape varieties is powerfully aromatic and refreshing, while being round and weighty in texture. Aged solely in concrete, the wine shows lively melon, citrus, and tropical fruit aromas from Malvasia, matched by textural complexity and structure from Bical, Cerceal, and Dão's flagship Encruzado grape. Salted honeydew melon, key lime and carambola/starfruit on the nose. The palate is wound with beeswax like texture but offers bracing acidity at the same time. Powerful aromas from Malvasia, matched with textural complexity from Bical/Cerceal (cement aging), and the Encruzado offers acidity for aging.
