Caves Velhas Bucelas Branco

Description

Right then, here’s a take on the Caves Velhas Búchelas, with a little seasoning: This wine seems to have sprung straight from a particularly charming Alentejo fairytale, predictably led by the magnificent Búchega. Expect a vibrant acidity – a signature of the Herdade de São Miguel’s remarkably singular terroir. It’s packed with ripe red fruit notes, punctuated by a whisper of spice that truly evokes the region’s heritage. And, of course, it garnered a well-deserved prize in *Revista de Vinhos de Portugal*, so it’s a perfectly sensible choice alongside a hearty duck rice or a beautifully roasted suckling pig.
