Aleixo Reserva Branco

Description

This Bairrada Reserva from Aleixo is a delightfully unexpected wine. The Bical grape lends a solid backbone, beautifully complemented by the Baga’s surprising sweetness, and the Fernão Pires provides a lively burst of acidity – mirroring the region’s distinctive calcareous soils and maritime influence. It’s no surprise it earned a gold medal at the Reconhecimento de Vinhos de Portugal; this elegant wine, brimming with fruit and structure, would be fantastic with grilled beef or a mature, hard cheese.
