Joao Pato 'White Duck' Duckman Branco 2022 Bairrada, Portugal

100% Bical grapes, fermented and aged in stainless steel. A bright, sleek expression of this native Portuguese variety, quite different from the more traditional versions Luis Pato is known for. It is light bodied and refreshing, with notes of pear, lychee, citrus zest, white flowers, and crushed stones. Fully dry and only 11% alcohol, this is the kind of white you want with fried snacks, aged cheese, or flaky fish.
