Fitapreta, Branco Ancestrale, Alentejano, Portugal, 2019

Made with minimal intervention and heritage varieties, this speaks of Alentejano terroir. A blend of grapes from two organic vineyards, including Roupeiro, Rabo de Ovelha, Arinto, Tamarez and Alicante Branco, it offers full, honeyed aromas, with hints of beeswax, citrus and ripe stone fruit. The vibrant, tangy palate has a mouthfilling texture, plus exuberant acidity that gives a super-crisp finish. Fresh and preserved citrus – juicy grapefruit and candied peel – over a focused mineral core.
