Right then, let’s have a look at this one. This Casa Relvas Cicónia seems to have been plucked from the vine a little too hastily – a detail that does raise a tiny eyebrow regarding the grapes’ full ripening. Despite the eight-hour pre-fermentation maceration, bolstered by a touch of Antão Vaz and Verdelho, there’s clearly a desire for complexity. However, the complete pressing and vacuum extraction point to a rather intense focus on preserving the fruit’s pure character. Expect a lively acidity, perfect alongside some grilled fish with a squeeze of lemon, I’d wager.
