L'avis des experts
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.
Made from the region’s ancient, traditional red grape, alvarelho, this lovely, light- to medium-bodied wine offers aromas and flavors of bright red cherries, dried cranberries, orange rind, rose petals and a little graphite. The palate is fresh with tart and earthy red fruit, slate and iron. Drink or hold.
