Blend af en mængde forskellige lokale druesorter fra vinstokke med en gennemsnitsalder på ca 50 år. Der er omkring 20 forskellige sorter, hvoraf ca 75 % udgøres af Siria, Fernao Pires, Bical, Arinto og Cerceal. Alle sorter er vinificeret sammen naturlig med spontan gæring og minimal intervention. Fuld malo og ingen filtrering. Modnet ½ på brugte fade og ½ på ståltank. Druerne er indkøbt men fra dyrkere, der ikke bruger sprøjtemidler af nogen art.
Frisk duft af citrus, æble og grønne oliven. Relativt fyldig i munden med, ren og præcis med en del mineralitet. Saftig og lækker!
Fremragende madvin - perfekt til fisk og skaldyr; klarer intens sauce. Flot til kylling eller komælksoste også!

Dão er en klassisk vinregion i Portugal med et enormt kvalitetspotentiale. Under phylloxera-krisen hvor der stort set ikke kunne laves vin i Frankrig blev Dão i Paris kaldt for sydens Bourgogne, fordi man i Dão netop kunne finde vine med den elegance, mineralitet og stærke karakter, som man finder i Bourgogne. Beliggende lige syd for Douro-regionen og lukket inde bag bjergkæder af granit, har regionen varme somre og våde vintre. Jordbunden er granitholdig og veldrænet.

The entry-level white 2023 Branco was produced with grapes purchased from local growers, close to 60% Encruzado but also Bical and other indigenous grapes, fermented with indigenous yeasts and full malolactic and aged in used barrels for one year, then blended and kept in stainless steel for one more year. It has 12.9% alcohol, a pH of 3.61 and 5.11 grams of acidity and a bone-dry finish. It displays a bright yellow color and an expressive nose of yellow and white fruit and flowers, some herbs and spices. It's fresher than the 2022 Branco I tasted last year and is balanced and tasty, with a salty twist in the finish.

It has exuberant aromas of dried pineapple, apricots and dried herbs. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, saline and concentrated, with a long, savory finish. A blend of encruzado and bical with 20% from an old white field blend. 30% is fermented and aged in used barrels and the rest in stainless steel. Incredible value.

Lightly smoky/cedarwood aroma, suggesting a touch of positive reduction. But also the stoniness that comes from granite soils. Underneath those complexing notes there's pure, piercing citrus and green fruits. There's marked tension and a slight chalky effect in the dry texture. Seems austere – in a good way – and there's no lack of fruit at the core. Bone dry and a touch salty on the finish. Just so salivating. And then an unexpected creaminess at the very end of the long finish. Piercing purity.

The entry-level white 2022 Branco was produced with 80% younger vines (separate varieties) and 20% old vines (mixed varieties) from a very dry year when they had difficult fermentations and had to resort to using some skins from a skin maceration to make the fermentations finish. The wines have a little more volatility. It still has 12.5% alcohol, a pale yellow color and is quite clear, with a very expressive nose of herbs, spices and some cereals and a very tasty palate with pungent flavors and mellow acidity. The whites are never filtered or fined in order to avoid losing the salinity.

Krævende særegen hvidvin lavet på et field blend med hen imod en snes forskellige sorter fra 50 år gamle stokke i granitholdig jord. Den har brug for masser af luft for at åbne sig. Distinkt mineralsk og salt næse, underspillet og stram med bagt æble og flygtige citrusnoter. Den er slank, præcis og syredrevet med et næsten dystert salt greb i munden. Virkelig en insisterende og udfordrende vin, der hvisker og kommunikerer i koder, så man skal lytte efter for at fange pointen. Herligt ærlig og umaskeret vin.
