Chances are great that you never have heard of one of the grapes used in this Portuguese white wine, but this blend of Gouveio, Roupeiro and Rabigato grapes is certainly worth exploring.
This seductive blend makes a very modern wine, with a clear, fresh taste. Pale lemon in colour. Very expressive on the nose, with fresh aromas of citrus fruits nicely combined with elegant notes of orange blossom. Engaging on the palate, offering excellent volume and fine texture, with vibrant notes of minerality. The finish is fresh and persistent.
Food pairing
Delicious as an aperitif with a salad of goat cheese, salmon risotto or grilled fish or sardines
