Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
They started picking the grapes for the 2021 Falcoeira Branco on the last day of August, slightly earlier, and the field blend of white grapes (Godello, Doña Branca, Palomino and others) in the lower terraces of this historical place fermented in 225- and 500-liter barrels where it matured for 10 months. It has 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.44, with a lemony character that transmits freshness. It is citrusy and floral, with a refinement and lightness I didn't see in the other whites. It's seamless, silky, harmonious and textured, with a neat combination of volume and tenderness, a tactile wine with a much more refined side, fine-grained and elegant. 968 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2023.

Description

Taste
Falcoeira Branco is a wine of great emotion, serious and austere, distinguished by its unique character. It has no fruity notes, instead offering a liquid granite sensation, with subtle herbal nuances and a chalky palate. This complexity and depth of flavour make this wine a true gem for connoisseurs, overcoming the adversities of the year with an extraordinary final product.
