Tapada Do Chaves Branco

Description

This Tapada do Chaves is a delightfully enigmatic wine, clearly born from a vineyard that’s guarding a few secrets – a granite outcrop at 400 metres above sea level, according to the producers, is key to its character. The blend of Arinto, Fernão Pires, Antão Vaz and Roupeiro delivers a sophisticated aromatic complexity, with hints of dried fruit beautifully balanced by that signature Alentejo freshness. The batonnage and a year of bottle aging, using whole clusters for pressing, undoubtedly add to the wine's luxurious texture and impressive longevity. A truly rewarding experience for those who value tradition, yet with a subtly contemporary edge – perfect with grilled fish or aged cheeses.
