Manolito Branco 2022 – Alentejo PDO

Manolito Branco 2022 – DOC Alentejo

A white wine with a dual soul – part born from modern techniques, part from the ancestral wisdom of amphorae. Manolito 2022 combines Antão Vaz from young vines with Diagalves and other native grape varieties from old vines (Manteúdo, Roupeiro, Perrum). The result is a wine that breathes the true Alentejo, yet with contemporary freshness and elegance.

Aromas of ripe fruit, orange jam, and marmalade mingle with notes of pear, spices, and clay. On the palate, it is rich, textured, and unctuous, with a vibrant acidity that balances the fruit's sweetness. It finishes long, complex, and memorable. A wine that unites two worlds – tradition and innovation.
