2021 Buçaco white

The Buçaco white is a singular wine that combines grapes from the Dão and Bairrada regions, reflecting the historical tradition and elegance of this iconic label. It displays a pale yellow colour and aromas of citrus and tropical fruit, such as pineapple, passion fruit and banana, accompanied by subtle notes of dried fruits and honey. On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied and balanced by vibrant acidity, finishing with freshness and excellent ageing potential in bottle.

At the beginning of the 19th century, one of the most interesting pages of Portuguese wine was born, with the launch of a wine that would become an icon, the target of covetousness, but which was always kept out of the limelight of its own accord.

The creator, Alexandre de Almeida, imported the concept of combining luxury hotels with a cellar and a wine of his own, thus creating the very rare and historical Buçaco wines, produced in the beautiful Bussaco Palace, in the mountains north of Coimbra.

These are wines that have not adopted modernism and that have enormous aging potential, being able to remain in the bottle for decades.
