Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Pure Sercial, a grape that is bottled on its own almost nowhere in the Dão because it is so acid-driven. Here too as little as possible happens along the way: ageing in stainless steel without intervention, gravity bottling, no filtration. What you are left with is sharply drawn citrus with a saline, stony aftertaste and an acidity that does real work. That acidity is what makes it useful: it cuts through frying fat, mayonnaise and aioli as if there were lemon alongside.

Minder geschikt bij
Slow-braised meat and anything with a dark gravy: it has not got the weight to put up against that. With a really spicy plate it turns lean as well, because acidity on acidity and heat on heat reinforce each other.
