| 15.5 / 20 |
Region: Setúbal
Country: Portugal
An uncommon wine, being a sweet white wine from Setúbal, made with grapes usually associated with the Minho and Vinho Verde - Alvarinho and Loureiro - this has a pleasant, interesting nose, where some sweet white fruits mingle with some orange flowers, limes and a soft rubbery hint, vaguely reminiscent of a Riesling.
Sweet in the mouth, again with lots of sweet white fruits and some orange flowers, this is not a heavy or fat wine, being very light and supported by a fresh acidity that keeps it interesting. The average ending gives it some flair, finishing with a slightly bitter, lemon skin feel.
On its own, definitely, or paired with some apetizers - foie gras is probably too much for it. Maybe a good combination with sushi or lightly spicy asian food.
