Pescador Branco 2022

Vineyards

Pescador Branco originates from Portugal, crafted with a blend of 60% Fernão Pires and 40% Arinto. These grapes thrive in Portugal’s coastal vineyards, benefitting from a maritime climate that lends a fresh, mineral-driven character to the wine. The soil composition and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean contribute to a vibrant acidity and a subtle saline note.

Winemaking

This white blend focuses on preserving the varietals’ natural acidity and aromatic profile. The wine is vinified in stainless steel to maintain freshness, resulting in a crisp and clean profile that showcases the grapes' pure fruit expression. 

Appearance

Nose

The nose is inviting with aromas of green apple and orange blossom, offering both fruity and floral notes that are characteristic of the Fernão Pires variety.

Palate

On the palate, this medium-bodied wine is refreshing, featuring flavours of crisp apple, citrus, and a gentle saline edge. Its balanced acidity and light mineral finish make it particularly food-friendly, ideal for pairing with seafood.

Food Pairing

Pescador Branco 2022 pairs exceptionally well with a range of seafood dishes, especially grilled fish, shellfish, and light salads, complementing its citrus notes and saline finish.
