Fitapreta Palpite White Reserva 2022

€ 23.95

Each vintage, this wine never fails to remind us of premier cru Meursault, and the 2021 is as good as it gets. This is all ripeness, tingly texture and oxidative spiciness. Produced from a blend of indigenous varieties, including the wonderfully fleshy Arinto that always provides a whiff of thick-cut marmalade, the nose is just stunning - nutty lift, a dash of anise and tangy pear. The palate is packed with fleshy citrus: lots of tingly saline lime, honeydew melon and delicate tropical overtones. So multifaceted and revitalising!, we abolutely love this!

Food pairing

We recommend pairing this one with shellfish, risotto or chicken.

Grapes : 70% Arinto, 13% Tamarez, 7% Alicante Branco, 5% Antão Vaz & 5% Verdelho

Palpite is a barrel fermented, reserve quality white wine produced from a selection of the best vineyards blocks of every vintage. Palpite is a Portuguese word meaning a good hunch or intuition and is an acknowledgement of the importance of these feelings in the craft of winemaking. The wine combines richness with freshness derived from the blend of native grapes varieties and by fermenting and skilful ageing in small French barrels. The emphasis is on careful selection and gentle fruit handling to optimize the extraction of desirable aroma and textural components. All bunches are inspected for quality on a sorting table before they are gently whole-cluster pressed at low temperature
