Herdade do Rocim Clay Aged Branco 2020

Herdade do Rocim Clay Aged Branco 2020

A white blend of northern Portuguese Verdelho, Viosinho and Alvarinho grapes, gently foot trodden in open top stone lagar troughs and fermented with wild yeast. After, aged in 140-liter clay pots for 9 months. Intriguing aromatic mix of blossoms, flat leaf parsley and quince fruit. This becoming increasingly pronounced with airing. A highly textured wine, visceral, with a streak of tart citrusy acidity for balance. Superb seafood wine. Tasted 2021 91
