Cortes de Cima Palhete 2022

This is a wild new take on traditional Palhete and its mix of co-fermented white and red grapes, this time taking a cue from the Rhone Valley’s Côte-Rotie mix of whole bunch Syrah and Viognier. I sampled this in its baby stage and it was still showing quite reductive toasted aromas, although promising lots of juicy red cherry, red fruit aromas and flavors in future, once it loses its puppy fat. 89
