Loios Branco

Description

This Loios do João Portugal Ramos is a genuinely refreshing white – clearly the product of a very determined morning! The painstaking hand-harvesting, using those hefty 15kg crates, speaks volumes about the producer’s dedication. You get a wonderfully vibrant acidity, with notes of lime and green apple, a direct reflection of the Alentejo’s distinctive terroir. And, as confirmed by a respectable 15.5 points in *Revista de Vinhos*, it’s a testament to the fact that complexity doesn't *always* require oak. Absolutely brilliant with fresh oysters – a pairing that cuts through the acidity and salinity beautifully.
