Filipa Pato
FP Bical & Arinto Branco
Beiras, Portugal
80% Bical, 20% Arinto. I might like their red better ( My beloved Baga) but this still stands out for its showing as a mid weight beauty, lemon curd & almond paste notes, with a strong mineral streak & some interesting fennel & herb notes at the edges. Hopefully not cursing it by saying it’s Burgundy adjacent

Nice nose, slaty and mild lemon. On the palate is not as impressive to me, still nice and lemon, some slate, and mild acidity, but doesn’t stick around much.

Lovely! Citrusy (grapefruit), bright but still soft. Like a day at the beach!
