Murgas Bucelas Branco · Bucelas DOC, Portugal · 2018
The Moment
This is the bottle that slows things down — when the table is set with purpose, the music softens, and the evening turns from casual to considered. A wine for when the meal matters.
What It Feels Like
Bright citrus and ripe lemon lead, followed by grilled white peach and nectarine, all grounded by a deep, chalky minerality that feels distinctly Atlantic. Savory notes of beeswax and toasted cedar add warmth and complexity, while subtle spice and a whisper of oak give structure without weight. Bone-dry, focused, and quietly powerful, with acidity that carries everything long and clean.
