Portuguese whites, particularly from the southern side, are making a major push into the US market, and I am glad to say that several are worth your attention. This bottling shows nectarine, apple, white pepper and stony minerality that drive both aroma and flavor profiles, with lively acidity and a little bitter pithy note extending the finish. Contains 60% Antão Vaz, 30% Arinto and 10% Alvarinho.
