Taboadella Grande Villae Branco 2018

€ 48.00

A classic territorial wine, linked to the estate, offering an unfiltered expression of Taboadella’s wonderful terroir, as we idealised it when we first arrived.

With almost indescribable aromatic complexity, it is a great white wine that is firm, with a silky texture and refined linearity. With high concentration, it is a magnificent wine with a vibrant acidity that only the Dão region can offer, with a long, persistent and very precise finish.

It is a white wine that presents an interesting aromatic complexity, revealing notes of white pulp fruits, such as apricots, pears and peaches, blending with citrus nuances, such as grapefruit and orange peel. It is a very mineral white wine, fresh and unctuous, with balsamic notes of great quality and very balanced acidity.
