Calcário Do Principal Chardonnay Branco

Description

This Bairrada Chardonnay is a pure exercise in minerality – quite the statement, isn’t it? The pale lemon hue with a hint of green immediately signals the intensity to come, revealing a nose of struck flint that’s admittedly a little unusual, yet surprisingly refreshing. On the palate, it’s a vibrant affair, driven by a serious level of acidity, and that characteristic “mine water” minerality was recognised by Wine Monthly, who awarded it 91 points. It would pair beautifully with grilled fish and a squeeze of lemon, or perhaps a creamy, tangy sheep’s cheese.
