O Produtor, tasting note published in February 19th 2023

IDEAL Branco presents a very fresh, delicate, and mineral character. The aroma is austere, with stony notes, and as it evolves in the glass, it reveals complexity with light smoky, citrus, and floral touches, reminiscent of orange blossom. The oak aging is in perfect harmony with the fresh and mineral aroma.
On the palate, it is slightly creamy, with a fantastically balanced, firm, and persistent natural acidity. Very rich, yet fresh and light at the same time, it shows a perfect balance between fruit and acidity. White flower notes and some dried fruits contribute to a mineral, salty, very long, and enveloping finish.

World Wild Wine

INTRODUCTION
The creation of the IDEAIS wine range aims to offer consumers high-quality wines with a degree of complexity and elegance typical of the Dão region, where fresh fruit prevails in both white and red wines. These wines are easy to enjoy and drink—gastronomic wines designed to be appreciated by all those who love fine wines from Dão.

VINIFICATION
After careful transport in 15 kg boxes, the grapes were transferred by gravity directly to the press, where they were slowly pressed to extract and preserve the primary aromas of the fruit. The must was decanted for about 24 hours in stainless steel tanks before alcoholic fermentation, which was temperature-controlled and carried out without any chemical additives. The must fermented with its natural indigenous yeasts. The wine was then aged for 11 months in French oak barrels.

FOOD PAIRING
Oysters, baked fish, poultry, and white meats. Vegetarian suggestions: dishes with root vegetables (turnip, sweet potato, beetroot), Caesar salad, and cheese-based dishes. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

“Pure citrus, slightly herbal, lovely floral notes, salty. Like stepping into a spring garden by the sea. Also very salty on the palate, with a long finish and intense texture. A slight bitterness adds freshness – ‘like Chassagne,’ suggests Raposo. Immense freshness and steel-like intensity on the finish. Reduction in the cellar, not in the bottles.” – Julia Harding
