Like having a personal cooling fan while sitting on a hot Lisbon tram car in mid-July. Fresh, lemony and clean as a whistle, this very drinkable white is a swimming pool glinting in the afternoon sun, a fresh trout jumping in a mountain stream.
What The Sommelier Says
Intense nose with citrus notes, some flint giving a mineral touch. In the mouth, marked acidity, but not aggressive, with a note of minerality and once again with citrus notes standing out.
Pairs well with…
…white meats, cold salads, baked or grilled fish, pasta, risotto and cheese.

Region: Setúbal Peninsula
The Setúbal region is thought to be the home of the first grape vines ever planted on the Iberian Peninsula (c 2000 BCE). Today, the region’s wines range from the sweet, floral Moscatel from the Serra da Arrábida, to the sublime reds of a well-structured Palmela. With fresh, coastal breezes and hot summers, the region offers some exquisite tasting experiences.
