An exceptional white wine, made with heart and soul. Pelicular combines the tradition of Portuguese Bairrada with an artisanal philosophy – a wine that makes you curious with every sip. 92 points from Robert Parker.
Golden-yellow color with a warm shimmer. On the nose, delicate notes of pollen and yellow stone fruit – complex yet inviting. Round and full-bodied on the palate, with a refreshing touch of freshness on the long finish.
100% Maria Gomes, grown on rare “Marne Bleu” soils (blue marl, also found in the French Jura). The must spent a week in the traditional lagar with skin contact. The juice was then pressed and fermented to completion in wooden barrels. Skin contact tames the grape’s typical excess aromas and gives the wine structure and volume – without overpowering it.
As an aperitif, with delicate fish and seafood, or daringly with grilled meat – Pelicular surprises with its versatility at the table. Serving temperature: 10–12 °C.
