Alentejo, Alentejano, Portugal
Ripe yet cool aromas with melon, peach, white flowers, a touch of toasted almonds, a salty note. Rich, yes, but also surprisingly very fresh. Enticing!
Medium bodied on the palate, juicy, fresh. Lovely slaty, rocky minerality on the forefront with some peach and pear underlining it. Nice depth here and nice length with a slaty tang on the finish.
Delicious stuff with quite some weight & elegance.

2013 vintage; light citrus on the nose. Bold and crisp on the palate with hint of oak. Pairs well with a variety of seafood and light meats. A very nice replacement/ change of pace for a California Sauvignon Blanc. Tasted this wine at Largo's in Lisbon in June where it was well received by dinner guests who ordered a range of entrees from pork to shrimp risotto to pasta.
