Citrine and very delicately scented, almost enigmatic on the nose, soft and fresh in the mouth with the faintly sweet edge Bical carries.

A fresh four-grape Dão white with touches of vanilla and the smell of fruit just off the tree, built for the table rather than the cellar.

Around fifteen white varieties co-fermented from fifty-year-old vines: great body and structure with acidity the estate calls exactly to the point.

The entry white from Gouveia, Encruzado with Bical, fermented and rested in tank: the producer calls it very pleasant, with the creaminess and complexity to sit at the table.

Seventy percent Jaen and Alfrocheiro co-fermented with thirty percent Encruzado and Bical: spicier than its colour suggests, with discreet fruit and a green edge from the stems.
Dry · Medium-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Contemplative
A nineteen-variety old-vine white field blend raised on lees in concrete egg: wet stone and lemon curd, restrained on the palate and remarkably persistent.

Three white Dão varieties from Santar: a fruity, delicate nose and a fresh palate whose exuberant finish sits on a lightly acid, smooth texture.
Dry · Medium-bodied · High acidity · Refreshing
A single-parcel white field blend, half Encruzado: orange blossom, lemon and peach with a mineral edge, grapefruit and green pineapple behind.

A classic unoaked Dão white: floral and citric on the nose, lime and lemon leading, fresh and structured enough to age four or five years.
Dry · Full-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Contemplative
Barrel-fermented Encruzado with a fifth left unoaked: the wood is visible but folded into citrus and tropical fruit, and the finish runs very long.
Dry · Medium-bodied · High acidity · Refreshing · Elegant
The estate's house white: Bical's delicate florals against the purity of Encruzado and the austerity of Cerceal Branco, linear and vibrant.
Dry · Medium-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Contemplative
Big-format wood and concrete, lees without stirring: orange peel and tea leaf over a light toasted reduction, citrus-driven with marked acidity and mineral length.
Dry · Medium-bodied · High acidity · Refreshing · Easygoing
Citrine yellow, from granite plots between 400 and 600 metres at Quinta do Paço: intense white-fleshed fruit with citrus, balanced and refreshing with real persistence.
Dry · Full-bodied · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant
Golden, from a multi-vintage assembly of old Teixuga vineyard whites aged years in used barrel: apricot, hazelnut and soft smoke, fresh but explosive in the middle.
