The vines are on average 80 years. Rabigato, Codega and Viosinha are the grapes.
Bottled January 2019. Produced 4722 bottles. Delivered in OWC of 3 bottles.
Decanted 30 minutes. Light yellow colour. Powerful aroma of minerals with fruit in the background. Full body. Distinct taste with minerals being the dominating factor. In general a dry impression. Well-structured and well-balanced acidity/sweetness. Acidity was well-integrated. Long aftertaste. Probably a white wine that will benefit with more age. 93 pts.
