Anselmo Mendes Pardusco Private 2022
Descripción
Con este Pardusco Private, el célebre elaborador luso Anselmo Mendes eleva la tradición de los "vinhos pardos" a otra dimensión. Estamos ante un monovarietal de Brancellao nacido en viñedos seleccionados que recupera la esencia de los tintos de Vinho Verde, vinos que se caracterizan por su color pálido pero que tienen una asombrosa capacidad de evolución. Un tinto de autor que captura el carácter más puro de las antiguas tradiciones portuguesas.

Opinión de los críticos
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.
Pronto supo a qué iba a dedicar su vida. Anselmo Mendes descubrió su vocación cuando aún era un niño en el seno de una familia viticultora de Monçao, un pueblecito entre Galicia y Portugal.
