Description

Poças Fora da Série Acrobata Branco 2021 is a unique Douro white made by Poças, standing out for ageing under a thin layer of "flor" in used barrels.

In this second edition, it keeps the blend of Rabigato, Gouveio and Códega, taken over by flor. A closed, saline nose with chemical notes, but less exuberant than the previous version. Salty on the palate, very dry, medium-bodied and tasty, finishing with good length.

Reviewed by: Mark Squires

The 2021 Acrobata Fora da Série is aged under flor. It's an equal-parts blend of Códega and Rabigato, plus 20% Arinto, aged for 10 months in used French oak. It has 12.2% alcohol.

With a polished, firm finish, it has a flavour profile of dried melon allied to fine structure. Lively and balanced, it mixes nuances from the oak, the grape blend and the flor. Interesting and complex, it's likely to age reasonably well. However, it may not be the best ager among the top whites in this report.
