Cartuxa Pera-Manca Branco 2022 75cl

Cartuxa Pera-Manca Branco

Produced by Fundacao Eugenio de Almeida in Alentejo, this wine reflects one of Portugals most prestigious traditions. Crafted from Arinto and Antao Vaz grapes grown near Evora, it represents the pinnacle of the region's white wines.

Fermentation occurs partly in stainless steel and in French oak barrels, followed by twelve months on fine lees with batonnage. The wine then matures in bottle before release, offering a rare combination of richness and precision that defines its reputation among collectors.

Tasting Profile:

• Nose: Aromas of ripe pear, citrus peel and subtle floral hints layered with gentle oak spice.
• Palate: Full-bodied yet balanced, showing stone fruit, quince and creamy notes supported by vibrant acidity.
• Finish: Long and refined, with lingering mineral tones and a delicate touch of almond.
