"Nossa Calc rio (Áour limestone,) is a biodynamic 100% Bical from the Ágrand cru, vineyard on the much-vaunted chalky clay soils around the village of Ois do Bairro, where Pato and husband William Wouters live and age wine in cellars under their home. Lissom, this would pair beautifully with sea bass, the finest Ácatch of the day, from the ocean, just 15km away. Sarah Ahmed: Oyster shell aromas and flavours, a little creamy with fresh acidity, herbal al-dente apricot and pingy chalk. Nelson Guerreiro: Complex nose, notes of fermented tea, jasmine and pear. Nicely textured with good acidity well integrated. Joanna Locke MW: A touch of bruised apple, a little struck match reduction, yet taut and crisp, sappy acidity."
