Description
Portugal: Alentejo
Rich & Rounded White
Dry - Light-Bodied - Oaked
Vegan - ABV 13.0% - 75.0cl
In a Nutshell:
A creamy and big-hearted Alentejo white that's very rewarding.
The Lowdown:
This is the Fonte Souto estate's signature white, and it really shows off what makes their unique terroir special. It's a delicious expression of Arinto, one of Portugal's finest white grapes, with a touch of Verdelho that's part fermented and aged in large oak barrels. The nose is loaded with flinty and citrusy notes, followed by juicy peachy stone fruits. Then you get this lovely vanilla and creaminess on the palate, all the while keeping a good, fesh crispness. It all comes together beautifully, making a white that's poised, elegant, and generous in nature.
The Producer:
Symingtons, famous for their top-notch ports and excellent still wines from the Douro, ventured further afield in 2017 to take on Quinta da Fonte Souto, their first estate in the Alentejo. This charming estate is tucked away near Portalegre in the northern, higher part of the region. The slightly cooler temperatures here mean a longer growing season, which brings out wines with more acidity and freshness. This project of Symington's, combining their winemaking know-how with Alentejo's unique climate is leading to quite stand-out wines.
When to Drink:
Its elegance and freshness make it a perfect match for seafood, grilled fish, and poultry dishes.
