Dinamica Bairrada Bical & Arinto Blend 2022

Blend of Bical (80%) and Arinto (20%). Aromas of fresh pears, white flowers and thyme. The palate fills with flavors of unripe peach, apricot, lemon and minerals. Nice creamy (neutral oak?) texture with a long and lingering nutty finish. Bright and luxurious. Thanks for sharing, Ron B! — 7 months ago

Special Cuvee Brut Nature 2016

Lovely Portuguese sparkler from the Bairrada AOC north of Coimbra, cepage is 5% Cercial, 30% Bical, 30% Maria-Gomes, and 35% Arinto. Loads of bubbles, not quite as fine or delicate as a fine Champagne, but really lovely for a midweek sub-$16 sparkler!! — 2 years ago
