The indigenous Galician variety Blanco Lexítimo was almost extinct before the team at Ponte da Boga dedicated 10 years to resurrecting the grape. Grown at 500m on slate soils, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and French oak before spending five months on lees. A unique wine with ripe, vibrant citrus fruit, fennel and floral aromas. Great tension and energy with a creamy, polished finish. Time in bottle will further improve it. Beth Willard: Grapefruit pith, lemon and lime aromas. A juicy, tropical palate, pineapple and lime. Vibrant, great tension, racy and energetic, and a lovely bitter-almond finish. Sarah Jane Evans MW: Aromas of fennel, ripe citrus, lightly smoky. Mouth Filling, building to lively bright crunchy acidity. Polished, creamy finish. Pierre Mansour: Floral, precise aroma, limey and mineral, too. Delicate yet intense with a creamy texture, very good.
