If you are looking for something different in a white wine, this is a good place to start. Flint/struck rock, peach, tropical, apple and a little spice fill your nose, and the palate begins round and viscous, cleaning up nicely in the finish after delivering the promised flavors. There is a flash of herb in the finish that quickly gives way to citrus. Chill this just a bit – it’s quite complex. Contains 40% Antão Vaz, 30% Arinto and 30% Roupeiro.
