Fairly neutral on the nose, with light blossom and lemon notes. The palate is more intense, zesty and zippy, with upfront pineapple and pear. Ripe, tropical guava and mango notes are well balanced by limey acidity and a dry, puckering finish. A blend of two Portuguese varieties and two international varieties, this is made in stainless steel with no oak used, making for a very pure-fruited, versatile wine. A good option for picky food - like tapas and small plates - it’s easy-going but also good exposure to native Portuguese varieties.
