Notes from the Producer: Bical is harvested in the beginning of September, the Arinto on the other hand, matures later and is harvested 2-3 weeks later.
Colour:
Brillant yellow straw colour with greenish rim, good viscosity.
Bouquet:
The nose reminds pear (typical for the Bical grape) with some hints of iode and a certain spiciness (thyme and rosemary).
Taste:
The mouth is refined, creamy, relatively smooth and has present minerality, a kind of saltiness due to the typical Atlantic climate. The middle palate is fruit-driven and the aftertaste is dry and refreshing with a lingering acidity.
Gastronomic Accompaniments:
Great with fresh goat and sheep cheeses (Requeijão), raw and marinated fish and shellfish, grilled poultry, smoked quail, Mediterranean cuisine and salads with fresh vinaigrettes with yuzu or lemon from the garden
