Picotes Branco 2024 is a white wine from the northern Portuguese region of Trás-os-Montes, produced from a blend of indigenous varieties grown at altitude on schist and granite soils. The 2024 vintage brought cool nights and steady ripening, yielding fruit of clarity and aromatic lift. Fermented with native yeasts and aged briefly on lees, the wine shows citrus, fennel and stone-fruit notes over a subtle mineral frame. Its taut, saline finish reflects both the altitude of the vineyards and the unadorned, site-driven winemaking that defines this small but distinctive frontier region.
