Fílipa Páto 2024 Nossa Calcário (Bical)
For her trophy white, F�lipa uses only her best and oldest Bical grapes from the Ois do Bairro, where stony clay overlays an extremely chalky subsoil. Fermented burgundy-stye in 500 liter barrels with batonnage every two weeks until bottling in May, this is always rated one of the top whites in Portugal. A study in contrast, with creaminess balanced by an assertive flinty character � as if Meursault were made in Sancerre. LIMITED
