Gonçalves Faria Branco

Description

“The Gonçalves Faria 2021 demonstrates that a little haste can be delightful, particularly when it comes to Bical and Fernão Pires. Their early harvest in August, driven by optimal grape ripeness, has delivered a remarkably fresh and mineral white – a genuine expression of the Bairrada’s unique terroir. The use of 1000L foudres, some with the character of a wise old neighbour, during fermentation and ageing, adds a layer of complex flavour that’s beautifully refined. It’s a wine best enjoyed with fresh fish, or as a celebratory toast to a focused and determined winemaking approach.”
