Vila Real Branco

Description

This Vila Real Branco is a testament to painstaking attention to detail. The hand-harvested grapes seem to be greeted with almost a devotional care, followed by a crush so gentle it’s practically heartbreaking. Fermentation, meticulously controlled, benefits from the influence of both French and American oak – with lees so fine the stirring feels almost ceremonial. Quite simply, it seems to know exactly what it’s doing to please. A superb buy, and one that promises to shine with fresh, grilled fish.
