Mirabilis Grande Reserva Branco
The white 2024 Mirabilis Branco is fresher, more elegant and has better integration of the oak than the 2023 I tasted last year. It was produced with the field blends from small plots of old and very old vines where Viosinho and Gouveio tend to dominate. It started in stainless steel and finished fermenting in new and used 300-liter French oak barrels, 1,200-liter foudres and concrete vats, where it matured for 12 months. It has contained ripeness and is more elegant and balanced; the alcohol level has come down to 13.5%, keeping a pH of 3.29 and 6.73 grams of acidity, coming through as showy but fresh and balanced. It has a medium-bodied palate, where I was expecting a little more oomph. 22,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2025. It should continue absorbing the oak in bottle.
