An interesting blend of indigenous and international grape varieties.
This white is a blend of indigenous and international varieties: Antao Vaz, Chardonnay and Arinto, plus Fernao Pires (10%), Marsanne (10%) and Roussane (10%). The gently sloping vineyards have a southern exposure and clay-limestone soils. Careful canopy management is used to optimise the aromatic character of the grapes. Only the best bunches are selected, and fermentation is carried out in stainless steel -using indigenous yeasts at controlled temperatures.
Citrus and stone fruit aromas - with some hazelnut characters. The palate is textural and complex - with ripe tropical notes balanced by citrus peel and bright acidity.
Match with grilled fish dishes, chicken or perhaps rabbit.
Please note: All case wine orders can take between 7-10 days for delivery.
