Antonio Madeira Branco Colheita 2023

Antonio Madeira Branco is a white wine made by Antonio Madeira himself in the Portuguese Dao from the Bical, Encruzado, Malvasia Fina and Cerceal varieties, with an average age of between 30 and 70 years. Grapes from granitic soils that he buys from producers who have no chance of making a profit by transforming them into wine and which, thus, becomes the best Corporate Social Responsibility policy.

The wine ferments with indigenous yeasts after being harvested by hand. After malolactic, half of the wine is aged for ten months in French oak barrels, the other half in stainless steel, and the final blend spent four months in steel, after which it was bottled.

It is a terroir wine, committed to showing the beauties of the Dão at the foot of the Serra da Estrela. Deep, with a lot of character, pure fruit, floral notes, moist granite. Fresh, tense, elegant and full-bodied, with a salty mouth that asks for another drink. Tasty, long and intense finish with wet granite.
