Quinta Das Bageiras Avô Fausto - Bairrada Branco

Description

This Avô Fausto from Quinta das Bágeiras is a white wine seemingly whispered directly from the hills of Bairrada – a wonderfully understated approach, thanks to the guidance of Mário Sérgio Alves. Fermented in French oak barrels with a touch of bâtonnage, it delivers an intensely fresh and vibrant expression of Fernão Pires, boasting that signature “crisp” quality and the potential for a remarkably long ageing. The impressive 18.5 points awarded by Grandes Escolhas certainly validate the promise: a truly elegant, intense, and surprising wine, as one critic aptly described – “resulting in a long and vibrant wine”. Wonderful with grilled white fish or a seafood dish, naturally.
