Elisa Freire Lobo's family has farmed in the foothills west of the Serra da Estrela (the highest mountain range in Portugal) for as long as anyone can remember. Elisa’s Vigno Branco is a co-fermented blend of traditional Portuguese white varieties: Encruzado (50%), Bical (20%), Cerceal (20%), Fernão Pires (5%) and Barcelo (5%), from vines up to sixty years of age, planted in the poor granite and schist soils. On the palate, the wine is smooth and layered, with a core of warm tree fruit and fresh cream that puts on weight over time in the glass, accented by sweet herb undertones, and briny minerality, finish with refreshing acidity.
