The 2019 Branco is a blend of 40% Viosinho, 30% Gouveio and 30% Rabigato, unoaked (but for 15% of the juice aged for three months in used barrels) and coming in at 13% alcohol. Relatively stern and serious for this category of white (a summer-styled fresh white), this does show the wood a bit in its texture. The wood might also mute the flavors a bit. As time goes on, this is not strictly a fresh white anymore, even if the oak impact is very modest. Still, this is lovely. It is balanced and fresh, with a fruit-forward demeanor, but the fruit is always dry and understated. The whole package is very appealing at a reasonable price point. It can age but do yourself and it a favor and drink it on the younger side. It won't become anything special in the cellar. It's worth leaning up today.
