Filipa Pato William Wouters Roleta Russa 2021

Wine's condition can be described as oxidised and reduced, indicating a loss of its original state.

Nuanced nose, with a fruity undertone, and a rich, polished texture. The mouthfeel is well-balanced, with a balanced interplay of liveliness and tannins. The freshness is spot on, and the ripeness is precisely executed. However, the all around sensation is somewhat one-dimensional. A more smooth and dimensional wine is available from the same vintage, the Nossa Calcario. Return to the Nossa Calcario for a more comforting and polished sampling experience.

Wine of remarkable freshness and vitality, with a straw-coloured pigment that belies its nuanced and multifaceted character. The aroma is a masterful blend of citrus, apricot, and bread notes, with a subtle accent of wax and walnut undertones. The style is a deliberate and deliberate exercise in oxidation, yielding a wine that is both dry and mineral-rich. The sensation is a veritable feast of fresh fruit, with an intense and satisfying autolyse that adds intensity and complexity. The finish is long and mineral, with a elegant suggestion of bitterness that extends pleasantly. Overall, a wine that is both a joy to drink and a true reflection of its maker's vision.
