Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
A bright, refreshing white from Luis Pato's old-vine Bairrada plots, blending the naturally high-acid Bical with the rounder Maria Gomes and aromatic Cerceal. Expect crisp citrus and stone fruit on a lean, mineral frame with a pleasantly bitter almond finish. Classic Atlantic Portugal in the glass — honest, food-friendly, and with enough texture to hold its own at the table.
