What The Fellas Say

This complex and layered white wine is delightfully exuberant, amorous and a teeny bit dangerous. It’s like the famous scene in Fantasia when Ben Ali Gator woos Hyacinth Hippo to the strains of La Gioconda – an entrancing pas de deux filled with grace and character and technical brilliance. In this case, the intense floral and honey of the Fernão Pires plays the role of Hyacinth with the crisp acidity of the Síria filling in for Ben Ali’s rascally and ravenous motives.

What The Sommelier Says

Lemon colour flecked with honey. On the nose, fruity and vegetal, with aromas of ripe fruits like apple and quince, and with hints of white pepper. Very mineral and expressive. On the palate, intense, dense, and fresh. Dry vegetal notes, crushed stone, and ripe fruit dominate. Strong acidity, complex, and very lively.

Pairs well with…

…a camembert melting over a rough wooden platter with some herbed olives, a seafood stew like a cioppino, a medium-spicy curry with some garlic naan to soak it all up.
