White Blend, Vadio 'Branco'
60% Cercial and 40% Bical
Produced from Bical and Cercial from vineyards based on sandy and clay-limestone soils, this white blend, aka ‘Branco’, shows the consistency and freshness characteristic of the best white wines from Bairrada.
The grapes are harvested in the morning, pressed as a whole bunch and fermented separately. The Cercial ferments in a stainless steel tank in order to maintain the vivacity of the aroma, and the Bical is fermented in a barrel used to add complexity and unctuousness to the final batch. Both age on fine lees for 6 months.
The aroma stands out with the intensity of citrus notes, accompanied by a slight note of salinity. The palate highlights the acidity and typical texture of Bical, giving a long and tense finish.
