Anselmo Mendes Tinto Pardusco Private 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
Portugal, Vinho Verde
R450
‘The pale ruby red 2022 Pardusco Private was produced exclusively with Alvarelhão grapes, a variety Anselmo Mendes loves and has five hectares of it (and he's going to plant more!), planted 12 years ago. The variety has a very narrow window to be harvested before the alcohol skyrockets and the acidity falls, so it has to be picked at the right moment. The destemmed grapes fermented with indigenous yeasts and had a soft extraction, then the wine matured in 400-liter French oak barrels for 12 months. It has elegance and a certain lightness, with red berries herbs and flowers, elegance and a touch of rusticity; there's also a little bit of oak that needs to be absorbed. It has medium ripeness, 12.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.42 and 5.8 grams of acidity. It's medium-bodied with fine tannins and a dry finish. It was bottled in October 2023. 2024-2030’ – Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, 92/100
