Pêra-Manca Branco 2012 is a highly regarded white wine from Adega Cartuxa in Évora, Alentejo, known for producing some of Portugal’s most iconic and age-worthy wines. Crafted primarily from Antão Vaz and Arinto, the 2012 vintage shows the estate’s signature balance of richness, freshness, and finesse. Partial fermentation in French oak and extended ageing on fine lees contribute to its creamy texture, layered aromatics, and long, precise finish. Despite its age, this bottle has been well preserved. The label is lightly damaged but fully legible, and the fill level is consistent with proper cellaring.
