PRESS COMMENTS & ACCOLADES

Wine Advocate

87/100

The 2022 Oscar’s Branco is a screw-capped blend of 34% Viosinho, 31% Rabigato, 11% Arinto, 11% Fernão Pires and others, all unoaked and coming in at 13% alcohol. This is a straight-ahead fresh white, perky and fairly bright with a tasty finish but always remaining on the drier side. Like its pink sibling in this report, this is easygoing and understated, something nice to sip on the porch all by itself. This drinks great today and will be perfect this summer. Under screw cap, it may hold a few years in theory, but that is very definitely not the point here. Drink it very young for best results. It doesn’t really seem to have much if any upside potential if cellared.

Winemaking Details

Viticulture:
2022 was a difficult year, the importance of having high altitude vineyard in the Douro is primordial to be able to harvest flavorful and balanced berries in order to vinify this Oscar's White. The winter of 2022 was hot and dry, followed by an unusually dry and hot spring and summer. However, rain and lower temperatures in early September helped with maturation and vine recovery. Hand-harvested grapes from owned and sourced sustainable and dry farming vineyards.

Fermentation:
Grapes were pressed whole-clustered and fermented on selected yeast. Regular battonage for 4 months.

Aging:
The wine underwent regular battonage for 4 months.

Winemaker:
Teresa Batista
