2018 Luis Pato Vinhas Velhas Branco Beiras, Portugal

$24.99

The VV Branco 2018 is a roughly equal parts blend of Bical, Cercial (both grown on calcareous clay), and Sercialinho (grown on sand). Fermented and aged in stainless steel for about 9 months before going to the bottle. 2018 was a warmer vintage with a heatwave in August, giving the wine a more fruit forward aromatic profile, yet still incisive and mineral focused on the palate.
