Region: Setúbal
Country: Portugal
Certainly one of the best valued whites in Portugal, this oak-staged white from near Setúbal has been very consistent in its quality, although
I was a bit disappointed with one of the last vintages, since the sweet fruit notes seemed a bit too much.
This vintage showed a better balance, although sweet fruit notes predominate in the nose, along with the slightest impression of oak/toast.
Very pleasant in the palate, full bodied and showing the oak where it staged, sweet fruit notes are also very present, but are balanced by a bitter, lemony aftertaste that keeps the sweetness in check. Strikes a very good balance between this bitterness and the heavier side provided by the oak, it finishes long and persistent.
Still a good bet and one to track down whenever you're in the mood for an affordable, interesting wintery white wine.
