Conceito Contraste Branco 2016
Descripción
Este blanco fermentado en barrica se elabora con algunas de las variedades blancas autóctonas de Douro: Rabigato, Códega do Larinho, Códega y Arinto. Con una crianza parcial en barricas de roble francés, se muestra muy elegante en cata, con una buena acidez y notas herbáceas que redondean el conjunto.

Opinión de los críticos
"The 2016 Contraste Branco is a field blend fermented in stainless steel tanks (70%) and new French oak barrels (30%). It comes in at 13% alcohol. This handles its modest wood treatment (70% stainless steel, the rest used wood) perfectly. It is barely noticeable. It has good volume for the level and the good freshness I anticipate here, too. Its round and relatively concentrated and full feel is impressive at its level this year, but it is always elegant, too. There is good acidity supporting everything. Then, it finishes with some tension and some traces of herbs. This should age well for the level in good years like this and the 2015. I do like to be conservative in such things, so we'll take that a bit slowly for the moment, while noting that they may surprise us."
