Quinta da Fonte Souto, Alentejo (Portugal) 2022

Dec 19, 2023

By Miranda Franco

 This team effort includes Charles Symington, Pedro Correia, and Jose Daniel Soares, resident winemaker.  The 2022 Branco is a 75/25 blend of Arinto and Verdelho.  Both grapes in this blend are fresh, providing attractive acidity and richness.  It displays floral notes on the nose with hints of honeysuckle and grapefruit.  Full-bodied yet wonderfully refreshing, it has a slightly creamy texture punctuated by yellow fruit and white pepper notes, making it the perfect companion to grilled octopus or roast chicken.
