Primado White 2021
22,50 €
Primado White is a structured, enveloping and creamy wine. Although it can be drunk from a young age, it is a wine with great longevity and potential for good ageing. The bright straw colour results from contact with the skins. Without barrel ageing, the varietal expression of the Encruzado variety is evident. The floral and citrus aromas are accompanied by notes of peach. In the mouth you can feel the texture and fat that make it...

Great wines are not born by chance. The exceptional conjunction of climatic and geological conditions combine to form a rare balance.
Located in Santa Comba Dão, in Quinta do Coladinho, the vineyard planted at the beginning of the 90s covers about 2 hectares in a place that reveals a sense and characteristics very own. The granitic-sandy soil is typical of the region. The climate marked by the mountain ranges of Estrela, Caramulo, and Lousã, that surrounds it, is also influenced by the proximity to the reservoir and Aguieira water dam. The humidity caused by the morning mists provides balanced and slow maturations, thus achieving a wine very concentrated in tannins and fruit.
The objective was the production of a wine of great complexity and elegance, a wine of subtle and complex aromas, intense but with delicate structure in the mouth. Another purpose was to achieve aging capacity, a characteristic that distinguishes great wines. To avoid its consumption too young, which would lead to the loss of part of its potential, the commercialization of Primado is only made after prolonged stages that provide structure and complexity of aromas and flavors providing its consumption in a better moment, when it begins to reach the maturity.
