2019 Fazenda Agricola Pradio Mencia Ribeira Sacra

"The white 2019 Pacio Branco is a blend of Loureira, Dona Branca and Godello that matured in used 300-liter oak barrels for seven months. It has a very Burgundian profile with notes of spices and smoke intermixed with yellow and white fruit and wild herb aromas. The palate is light and refreshing, with moderate alcohol (12.5%) and very nice balance. The flavors are pungent, with a mineral sensation, texture and a salty finish that I love." - Luis Gutierrez Review Date: February 2022
