Antonio Madeira 2023 Vinhas Velhas Branco

A field-blend of 20 autochthonous varieties given the classic Burgundian treatment of fermentation in 90% used barriques (10% in stainless steel) for two winters before bottling in April 2024. The vines are between 50 and 130 years old. The sheer intensity of the fruit and the density of the palate are what are striking here. It is as if the wisdom of the ages has made its way from the ancient roots to the glass in your hand. Such vitality and power combined.
