LOT

The most important for VB lots is for the Verdelho and Boal to coexist in harmony. In order to make this possible we always chose to have more Verdelho than Boal. The search for this harmony, for the balance between the exuberance of the Verdelho and the powerful structure and concentration of the Boal was only possible after tasting many wines of both these grapes from different years. This lot was done using the 2003 Verdelho which came out of casks 7 and 136 and the 2003 Boal taken from cask 272. We bottled 2.478 units all individually numbered.

TASTING NOTES & HARMONIES

Light gold colour.
The bouquet is fine and lifted with notes of hazelnut, dried honey and yellow flowers and orange peel. This has very good structure, viscous on the entry but with racy acidity cutting through. Spicy and vibrant fresh finish.
Excellent as an aperitif.
