The 2021 Branco is a roughly equal blend of Encruzado, Malvasia Fina and Verdelho, unoaked, very dry and coming in at 13.1% alcohol. Smoothly textured, this still shows off fine acidity and freshness. It has enough concentration so as not to feel thin, but the point here is freshness. It can easily age a few years, perhaps more than indicated. The winemaker indicated the 2010 is still quite alive based on recent tastes. It is a classic fresh white with some distinction. As noted in the past, this is labeled "A Descoberta" in Portugal, which is a brand name unfortunately dropped from the USA label.

Country: Portugal

Most of us are quick to associate Portugal primarily with the excellent fortified wines which come out of the Porto area, but there is much more to Portuguese viticulture than just this. Perhaps the most popular still wines the country produces are the varieties from the Vinho Verde region, which uses grapes that do not achieve high doses of sugar, meaning the wines are at their best when young and full of natural, springy fruit flavors The wines of the Douro region have undergone many transformations in their flavor and character over the centuries; once regarded as a bitter wine, the exporters experimented with fortifying the wine with brandy. After several centuries, vintners found a balance in the modern age which is at once reminiscent of Port wine, yet with the structure and character closer to other fine Portuguese wines. Thanks to the appellation system of Portugal and the strict laws governing wine production, Portuguese wines continue to maintain their reputation for quality and the distinctive characteristics they carry.
