Guru Vinha Da Calçada Branco

Description

Born from century-old vines nestled in the River Pinhão valley, this wine certainly seems to have been pondering life’s big questions. Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio Borges, the minds behind Wine & Soul, clearly understand the value of “old vines” – and the result is a wine that resists all rush. The core is a delightful blend of indigenous grape varieties, thriving on a remarkable granite soil that imparts a truly mineral character. The *foudre* aging adds a silky smoothness, creating a remarkable balance allowing the bright, citrusy white fruit to shine through with understated elegance. A wine of undeniable grace, with a lingering finish, this is one that begs for a thoughtful pairing – particularly with grilled fish or seafood; expect a stimulating discussion.
