White dry
the Antunes Family Collection Branco 2022, a rare Alentejo white that boldly breaks tradition with its modern approach and remarkable complexity. This wine offers an extraordinary and stimulating freshness, making it a truly captivating experience for any palate.
This innovative blend, considered the property's best white, combines 70% Antão Vaz with equal parts Chardonnay and Riesling – a surprising yet harmonious mix. It pours a sparkling straw yellow with greenish nuances, hinting at its unconventional character. The nose delivers a beautiful fruity bouquet with notes of tea leaves, pineapple, star fruit, unripe apricot, and ripe pear, mingling with lemon zest and a light petrol aroma from the Riesling.
On the palate, it's defined by an extraordinary freshness, alongside nuances of spices, pineapple, and lime, plus a mineral vein typical of Antão Vaz. The wine persists beautifully in the mouth, thanks to its 12-month maturation in French oak barrels with battonage.
Served at 18-20 °C with grilled caramelised red meat or game with black fruit jelly, suitable with a powerful Portuguese cheese from Azeitano or traditional Roquefort.
