Quinta de Paços, Casa do Capitão-mor Alvarinho, 2019

Appealing orchard aromas – like a dish of apple crumble and cream – but with citrus freshness: preserved lemon, fresh lemon and green herbs. Lees contact for nine months adds a rich creamy texture, that's balanced by vibrant acidity, with a bone-dry finish. Layers of grapefruit and lemon citrus, herbs, honey and apple, with a mineral undertow and a long finish – plus this will age.
