Cartuxa Colheita Branco 2021

The 2020 Cartuxa Branco is a 55/45 blend of Antão Vaz and Arinto, all unoaked and coming in at 13% alcohol. Beautifully textured, to a point where I thought there might be some old wood (there isn't), this is reasonably concentrated in mouthfeel, and fresh and fruity too. If something like the EA overachieves, though, this might not justify more than doubling the price. It is clearly better, and that gap will become more obvious with a couple of years of age, but right now the gap is not as enormous as doubling the price might suggest.
