Primado Branco 2021

Primado White is a structured, enveloping and creamy wine. Although it can be drunk from a young age, it is a wine with great longevity and potential for good ageing.

Grape Varieties: Encruzado (85%) e Malvasia-Fina (15%).

Tasting Notes: The bright straw colour results from contact with the skins. Without barrel ageing, the varietal expression of the Encruzado variety is evident. The floral and citrus aromas are accompanied by notes of peach. In the mouth you can feel the texture and fat that make it especially gastronomic. A well present acidity gives it great freshness and balance. With great elegance and a long mouth, it persists and reveals aromatic complexity.

Vinification: 12 hours pre-fermentation maceration and fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperature.

Ageing: 9 months in stainless steel, 12 months in bottle.

Food Pairing: This is a non-seasonal wine that goes well with fresh food typical of the warmer seasons, such as fish and seafood, but is also suitable for pairing with some strong dishes, such as baked fish, cod, some light meats and cheeses.

Ageing Ability: Up to 10 years after harvest

Winemaker: Patrícia Santos
