The 2021 Contraste Branco is a blend of traditional white grapes, like Rabigato, Códega, Códega do Larinho and Arinto, all co-fermented (wild ferment) in a 70/30 mixture of stainless steel and new French oak for eight months. It comes in at 13.1% alcohol. This now has an additional vineyard source that raises the average age of the vines to over 30 years. Showing good concentration of fruit, this fresh white seems solid, but it also does the freshness part very well too. Young and refined, it is an understated white in perfect balance. (MS)
