The odd one out in this range: pure Chardonnay, in a region where everything revolves around Bical and Maria Gomes. Fermented in new French oak barrels and then aged in used oak. New oak with Chardonnay is a classic Burgundian choice, and on the limestone of Bairrada it works better than you would think: yellow fruit, hazelnut and buttery breadth, with the acidity of the region underneath holding the whole thing upright. Seven years in bottle have absorbed the oak completely.

Frederico and his father Mario Sergio are the third and fourth generations of the Nuno family who make wine in the north of the Bairrada region. They make wines and espumantes that are very easily recognizable for their distinct character.
