Cume do Avia Colleita Branco Ribeiro 2022 750ml

Expert Review – Vintage 2022

Luis Guitierez of The Wine Advocate writes 93+ Points | They haven’t produced this wine since 2019, and there are substantial changes. There’s no Treixadura in the 2022 Vio Branco Dos Canotos; they didn’t do any skin contact; and it didn’t go through malolactic, because it has a low pH (3.0) and high acidity. It matured in chestnut cask with full less until bottling in May 2023, quite early. The wine is dominated by the Albario (around 40%, the rest, Lado, Cao Branco and Loureira) in the aromatics, floral and herbal. It has around 11.7% alcohol, a very tasty and vibrant palate with pungent flavors, and very good persistence and length. There are only 910 bottles.

Winemaker Description

Lovely lemon and peach aromas with hints of honeysuckle and white pepper, super fresh, light-bodied, airy, silky on the palate.
