Winery Review: A blend of 40% Arinto, 30% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura and 10% Azal.
Full of fruit, a lasting peach flavor targeted with laserlike acidity through the finish. It has the bite of salty ocean air and a lot of zing. For langoustines.

My review: A wonderfully fruity aroma on the nose with a sharp acidity on the palate. Reminds me of warmer weather and tropical fruit. Slightly tangy but delicious. Would definitely recommend this wine for a warm summer afternoon by the pool.

I did not have this wine with food.
