Pato & Wouters Nossa Calcario Bical Branco 2020

$68.00

Expressive nose of lime, preserved lemon, oyster shell, peach and smoke. Terrific weight, a genuine step up in intensity, concentration and depth. Abundant acidity drives and frames the wine with saline and seaweed notes. Pure and with more cutting intensity. Very special wine. Waters Wine Co

100% Bical – The grapes are handpicked from one vineyard in Ois do Bairro (Filipa’s hometown). Chalky clay mid-slopes with eastern orientation to the sun and a very intense Atlantic influence (only 15 km from the ocean). The vines are average 40 years old. The valley of Ois do Bairro has been known for centuries for the quality of its white wines. In fact, the wines coming from this valley were the first whites to be exported to the ex-colonies (Brazil, Angola, etc.).

Long pressing of full bunches. The juice is free run to the casks. Fermentation is with wild yeast in an old traditional cellar with a natural constant temperature under 20°. Matured for 8 months in 500-600L casks, then for two months in bottle prior to release. No bâtonnage is done to maintain freshness. Biodynamic.
