Castello D'Alba Superior Branco

Description

This wine, crafted by the esteemed Rui Roboredo, clearly intended to remain a closely guarded secret, reveals itself with a delightful intensity. The hand-harvested grapes, gathered in 15kg boxes, speak to a truly meticulous, almost reverent, approach. The reductive fermentation, coupled with consistent battonage, reflects a dedication to coaxing out every subtle detail from the Verdelho, Rabigato and Viosinho grapes. Such a considered process – including crushing and pressing under an inert atmosphere – certainly delivers a wine of remarkable complexity. Perfect with grilled white fish, perhaps, or a seafood rice dish.
