Hugo Mendes Lisboa Branco 2023 Lisboa

This cuvee was presented to us recently by the producer himself and we were really blown away by both the philosophy and the wine. Hugo believes in a very hands-on approach in the vineyard and a hands-off approach in the cellar, whilst also harvesting the grapes based on optimum acidity which is a marked feature of all his wines. This is a classic blend of white grapes found in the Lisboa area. Aged in 40% old oak, this is packed with interesting aromas of grapefruit, orange peel, lemon and cream, all accompanied by delicious minerality and a touch of smoke.
