What The Fellas Say

Fresh and grippy and crisp and smooth all at the same time. It’s like being punched in the mouth with a melon wrapped in orange blossoms. It’s like being showered with angel tears while having sex on the beach at sunset.

What The Sommelier Says

Golden colour with intense nose of dried fruits, herbal and floral touches, and a distinct mineral thread. The palate is full and complex with vibrant freshness and a lightly textural grip. Deep and balanced with a long pleasant finish.

Pairs well with…

…a classic Portuguese fish stew, a whole grilled blackened sea bass with a touch of spice, crispy Vietnamese-style caramelised pork belly with lime and fresh herbs or a wedge of aged Azeitão cheese with quince paste.

About The Winemakers

A family estate in Bombarral with over a century of farming history, Quinta Várzea da Pedra has been bottling wine since 2015 under its fourth generation. Clay-limestone soils, Atlantic sea breezes and the influence of the Lagoa de Óbidos shape wines of genuine freshness, marked acidity and a strong regional identity — authentic expressions of DOC Óbidos terroir.
