    With 35% Chardonnay in the blend and some wood aging, this is a ripe wine with its rich soft texture brightened by a cut of acidity. It is beautifully balanced, with great yellow and citrus fruit. Drink the wine from 2018.

    Rich, smooth, with great wafts of creaminess to go with a judicious amount of toast. White plum and pear flavors precede a finish with impressive concentration and delicious acidity.

    The flagship white from Bacalhôa is a full-bodied blend of Fernão Pires and Chardonnay. There is both freshness and richness here, with a tight texture of lime zest and apple skins giving lively acidity. The finish is more tropical, with smooth creamy flavors.
