Chaminé Branco 2024 is a vibrant Atlantic white wine crafted from organically farmed vineyards located just three kilometres from the ocean near Vila Nova de Milfontes, on Portugal's Alentejo coast. Produced from a unique blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Alvarinho, Loureiro and Moscatel, it captures the freshness, energy and maritime influence of one of the country's most distinctive coastal terroirs.

The vineyards are certified organic and managed according to regenerative and biodynamic principles, with a strong focus on soil vitality and ecosystem balance. Planted on sandy and silty gravel soils, they benefit from constant Atlantic breezes that help preserve acidity and aromatic precision despite the southern location.

The 2024 vintage is particularly expressive, offering a luminous aromatic profile where tropical fruits and citrus intertwine with delicate floral notes, honeycomb nuances and a pronounced sense of ocean freshness. While highly aromatic, the wine remains remarkably focused and refined, balancing exuberance with structure and precision.

Hand-harvested grapes were transported under refrigeration to the winery in Vidigueira, where they underwent slow whole-cluster pressing. Fermentation occurred spontaneously with indigenous yeasts across a variety of vessels, including stainless steel tanks, a 2,000-litre Slovenian foudre, a 500-litre French oak barrel and a Wineglobe. This multi-vessel approach adds layers of complexity and texture while preserving purity and site expression.

Complete malolactic fermentation contributes to the wine's creamy texture, while extended ageing on lees over two consecutive winters enhances depth and stability. After 14 months on lees and an additional five months in stainless steel, the wine achieves a remarkable balance between richness and freshness, finishing with striking saline precision.

Despite its concentration and complexity, Chaminé Branco 2024 carries just 11.5% alcohol, reinforcing its sense of tension, drinkability and Atlantic elegance. It is a distinctive Portuguese white wine that combines modern winemaking precision with a profound connection to place.
