The aroma stands out with the intensity of citrus notes, accompanied by a slight note of salinity. The palate highlights the acidity and typical texture of bical, giving a long and tense finish.
Talented winemaker Luís Patrão, formerly of Herdade do Esporão in the Alentejo, returned to his family vineyard and works full time on his own wines in the Bairrada village of Poutena.
Food-Pairing
Highly recommended with seafood and Parma ham.
Grapes : 40% Bical & 60% Cercial
Produced from Bical and Cercial from vineyards based on sandy and clay-limestone soils, it shows the consistency and freshness characteristic of the best white wines from Bairrada.
The grapes are harvested in the morning, pressed as a whole bunch and fermented separately. The cercial ferments in a stainless steel tank in order to maintain the vivacity of the aroma, and the bical is fermented in a barrel used to add complexity and unctuousness to the final batch. Both age on fine lees for 6 months.
