Maçanita Folgasão dos Dois Branco 2020

It is not easy to keep up with the diversity within Portuguese varieties, there are over 250 and some of are even called different names. Folgasão went from the mainland to the Zarco islands, where it gained its reputation as Terrantez. This Folgasão was produced in altitude; it is a pure, mineral and fresh version of this variety. It is a Folgasão like you we have never tasted before. Is not Joana’s Folgasão neither António’s. It’s from both brother and sister.
