Bacalhôa Chardonnay 2024, Península de Setúbal, Portugal

Bacalhôa Chardonnay 2024 komt van de wijngaard Cova da Ursa in Azeitão en is een wijn met een bijzondere plek in de Portugese wijngeschiedenis. Wat maakt Cova da Ursa zo belangrijk voor Portugese Chardonnay? Dit was de eerste Portugese Chardonnay die werd uitgebracht onder deze naam én de eerste witte wijn in Portugal die volledig werd vergist op nieuwe Franse eikenhouten vaten. In 2024 zorgde de langzame rijping, ondanks een vroeg oogstjaar, voor een Chardonnay met minerale spanning, florale verfijning en opvallend mooie natuurlijke zuren.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven komen van Cova da Ursa, in de Serra da Ursa op de heuvels van Azeitão, binnen het Arrábida-gebergte.

  • Herkomst: De wijngaard ligt in Cova da Ursa, een specifieke locatie in Azeitão die al sinds de eerste jaargang van deze wijn onlosmakelijk met Bacalhôa Chardonnay verbonden is.
  • Terroir: De stenige klei kalkbodem geeft de wijn niet alleen structuur, maar ook die kenmerkende minerale spanning die deze Chardonnay onderscheidt van rijkere, zachtere stijlen.
  • Mesoklimaat: Het unieke klimaat van Arrábida zorgt voor een tragere rijping van de druiven, waardoor aroma’s zich rustig opbouwen en de natuurlijke frisheid behouden blijft.
  • Oogstmoment: De oogst vond plaats op 28 augustus, wat vroeg was voor het seizoen, maar de druiven rijpten langzaam en ontwikkelden juist daardoor veel precisie en balans.

Dat langzame rijpingsproces is hier een echte terroir-USP, want het geeft de wijn spanning en finesse in plaats van alleen rijp fruit.

Vinificatie en rijping

De vinificatie van Bacalhôa Chardonnay 2024 is gericht op breedte, textuur en complexiteit, zonder dat de frisheid verloren gaat.

  • Wijnmaker: Filipa Tomaz da Costa is verantwoordelijk voor deze jaargang en werkt hier met een stijl waarin rijp fruit, hout en mineraliteit strak op elkaar zijn afgestemd.
  • Houtopvoeding: 60% van de wijn vergist én rijpt 5,5 maanden in nieuwe fine-grain French oak barrels. Dat geeft de wijn extra textuur, subtiele toasttonen en meer diepgang zonder het fruit te overstemmen.
  • Bâtonnage: Dagelijkse bâtonnage, het oproeren van de fijne lie, zorgt voor meer aromatische complexiteit en een romiger mondgevoel.
  • Analyse: Met 13,8% alcohol, 6,2 g/l totale zuren en slechts 0,77 g/l restsuiker heeft de wijn genoeg kracht voor houtopvoeding, maar blijft hij tegelijk strak en droog van stijl.
  • Flesmoment: De wijn werd gebotteld in mei 2025, waarna hij zich verder kan ontwikkelen richting meer gelaagdheid en tonen van gedroogd fruit.

De combinatie van fine-grain Frans eiken en dagelijkse bâtonnage is hier de duidelijke vinificatie-USP, omdat die zorgt voor romigheid en lengte zonder log te worden.

Druivensamenstelling

Chardonnay – Cova da Ursa, Azeitão
Chardonnay laat hier een andere kant van Portugal zien, met rijp geel fruit, frisse zuren en een minerale ondertoon die mooi samengaat met subtiele houtinvloed.

Proefnotities en serveertips

In het glas toont Bacalhôa Chardonnay 2024 een lichtgele kleur met groenige reflecties. De neus opent rijk en expressief met geel fruit zoals perzik en ananas, gevolgd door toast en vanille door het contact met het hout. In de smaak komen die gele fruittonen krachtig terug, mooi verweven met de houtinvloed. De structuur is vol en aanhoudend, maar wordt strak gehouden door een uitgesproken, directe zuurgraad die de wijn een mineraal karakter geeft. De afdronk is vol en persistent, met de belofte van extra complexiteit en tonen van gedroogd fruit na verdere flesrijping.

  • Serveertemperatuur: Drink deze wijn bij voorkeur tussen 10–12 °C zodat zowel de romigheid van het hout als de frisse, minerale spanning mooi in balans blijven.
  • Gerechten: Combineert uitstekend met vis of gevogelte met wat meer smaakintensiteit, maar ook met vettere kazen en de traditionele DOP kaas uit Azeitão.

Over Bacalhôa

Bacalhôa is een van de bekendste wijnhuizen van Portugal en heeft met deze Chardonnay een wijn in handen die historisch belangrijk is voor het land. Sinds de eerste oogst in 1986 wordt deze wijn geproduceerd, waarbij Cova da Ursa uitgroeide tot een vaste naam voor Portugese Chardonnay met ambitie. Juist de combinatie van eigen wijngaarden, een duidelijke herkomst in Arrábida en een consequente stijl maakt Bacalhôa Chardonnay tot een van de referenties binnen witte wijn uit de Península de Setúbal.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age. However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate. The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series. Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
Format: Kindle
A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it. Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.
