2023 Luis Pato Vinhas Velhas Branco
The 2023 Luis Pato Vinhas Velhas Branco showcases the remarkable potential of old-vine indigenous varieties from Portugal’s Bairrada region. Crafted primarily from Bical, Cerceal, and a touch of Sercialinho, these low-yielding, mature vines deliver a wine of impressive concentration and precision. Cool Atlantic influences preserve vibrant acidity, while gentle lees contact adds textural depth and complexity. Layers of citrus peel, green almond, and wet stone unfold across a taut, mineral-driven frame, making it equally compelling for immediate drinking or short-term cellaring.
