This lovely white wine from Alentejano is a blend of Antao Vaz, Arinto, Verdelho and Viognier, and it is no shrinking violet!
The initial colour of straw yellow catches the eye immediately. It is quite defined, so we were expecting a bit of punch - and weren't disappointed. The nose is slightly restrained which may reflect the (4) grape varieties used, there is barrel fermentation but this does not show. (Good sign).
The taste is highly tropical, with a real fresh, lengthy, dry, citrussy finish.
Quite different if compared to Vinho Verde etc, but not strange - just really good!
