António Madeira Vinhas Velhas Branco 2021

Rare Opportunity – Final Stock. 2021 Vintage.

António Madeira Vinhas Velhas Branco 2021 comes from a mosaic of old vineyards in the Serra da Estrela sub-region of Dão, with vines ranging from approximately 50 to 120 years old. These high-altitude parcels, rooted in the region’s granite soils, bring together a remarkable field blend of traditional Portuguese white varieties.

Made with a low-intervention approach, the 2021 is defined by freshness, precision and mineral tension rather than weight. Citrus and orchard fruit are layered with subtle floral and herbal notes, while the granite soils and elevated vineyards contribute the distinctive saline, stony character that has become a signature of António Madeira’s wines.

The 2021 vintage combines remarkable energy with depth and complexity, showing why Madeira has become one of the most closely followed producers of the new generation in Dão.
