Herdade da Amada, Rasgo na Pedra

Straw yellow with a golden tint, hinting at skin contact. The nose is mineral and waxy, building in complexity — quiet notes of stone fruit emerge behind a reductive character of chalk dust and wet stone, suggesting extended lees ageing. The palate mirrors the nose closely. The attack is full and commanding, revealing a wine of great personality with remarkable richness and width across the mid-palate. Structure and freshness run in parallel throughout, with acidity sitting at a precise point of balance and elegance — a strong indication of considerable bottle ageing potential.
