Vadio Branco 2018
Descripción
Vadio se elabora dentro de la denominación Bairrada, al norte de Coimbra, entre el Atlántico y la región del Dão. Basado en dos variedades blancas autóctonas, la Cercial y la Bical, resulta un blanco intenso en nariz y muy fácil de beber en boca. Aromas cítricos y algo de menta envueltos en una mineralidad sutil y buena acidez. Uno de los mejores exponentes blancos de esta región lusa.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2018 Branco is a 60/40 blend of Cercial and Bical (the Bical only was aged for eight months in used French oak). It comes in at 13% alcohol. Solid in the mid-palate but still fresh and a little spicy, this has a long finish surrounded by acidity. The wood is beautifully handled. This had no malolactic fermentation because the 2018 acidity was lower than in 2017, said the winemaker. That technique worked well here, as this certainly seems bright. I hate to be a broken record, but this is another fine white in this very consistent bottling. It should age very well and perhaps will be better in a year or two.
