Quinta da Pellada Primus 2021
€ 61.86
A white wine with more exotic tropical fruits than the Mercado dos Lavradores in Madeira, delicious citrus fruits, a creamy texture and an aftertaste that doesn't seem to pass
Real craftsmanship and an exciting well-made wine. This is the type of wine that makes you think and starts to wonder why you are still worried. Primus is Latin for "first". To say it in the words of Barry White, "this is our first, our last, our everything"!
Álvaro and Maria Castro are, in our humble opinion, Dão's best winemakers and we are not alone with this vision. This is their TOP white wine: a blend of almost every Portuguese grape variety that is conceivable, hand-picked and from 65-year-old vines that grow on granite soil. Gloriously supple, strikingly fresh, perfectly integrated oak and more balanced than a Weeble
