Quinta do Javali Douro Clos Bonifata Branco
| Vintage: | 2019 |

| Description: | The Clos Bonifata vineyard is a prized site at the Quinta do Javali. Planted at 600m altitude on schist soils, the vineyard is designed as an amphitheater, and is primarily planted to Arinto and Viosinho, which make up the blend of this exceptional white wine. Fermentation is in concrete, and the wine is aged in concrete spheres (not eggs), with occasional batonnage. We were really impressed with this wine (as were our customers!) when winemaker Antonio Mendes was in town pouring his wines at Chambers Street. There was a pleasant density in the mid-palate, having just enough weight and texture to balance what is clearly a very chiseled and direct mineral spine. A welcome addition to our nascent Portuguese white section. |
