Creamy, fresh bursts of tropical rainbows spilling over fresh cut lemons like a magical mystery tour of joy and happiness. It’s a chewable white wine for any time of year but especially when it’s late winter and you’re desperate for a taste of summer and samba and sunsets.
What The Sommelier Says
A lemony citrus colour with hints of green. On the nose, aromas of lychee, peach, guava and citrus with a touch of minerality and orange blossom. On the palate, it’s fresh but full, with well-integrated acidity, minerality and a long finish with a hint of passion fruit.
Pairs well with…
…shrimp risotto, wild salmon, pad thai, cheesecake with raspberry coulis.

About The Winemakers
The Bio family’s story is deeply rooted in their passion for their origins, land, and people, aiming to preserve Portuguese identity. Starting on the left bank of the Guadiana River in Alentejo, their vision expanded to other regions of Portugal, always maintaining a focus on protecting local culture and supporting communities. In 2007, Manuel Bio took over the presidency of Adega Granja Amareleja, reviving the struggling business and restoring its social and economic significance. Under his leadership, the winery now produces 95% of the region’s wine, driven by a belief in the power of cooperatives and associations to preserve local identity and support small farmers. The Alentejo region is the heart of the Bio family’s projects, with the Adega Granja Amareleja standing as a symbol of traditional winemaking. Amareleza Vinhos, another of their ventures, reflects the creativity of winemaker José Piteira, who specializes in ancient talha winemaking techniques. With their various initiatives, the Bio family is committed to creating projects that honor local heritage, support communities, and promote the rich diversity of Portuguese wine culture.
