Flavor Profile
“The Most Exciting Wine Place on the Planet Today”
Taste why Wine Spectator’s Matt Kramer is raving about Portugal with this stunner: a peachy, gently spiced white, crafted by star winemaker José Lobo de Vasconcelos (that was awarded a big gold medal in London!).
It’s a rare blend of native Portuguese white star, Fernão Pires, plus Alvarinho and Moscatel (aka: Albariño and Moscato). These grapes positively thrive in Casal Branco’s sandy soils, and ripen to perfection under the Portuguese sun. Gentle oak aging imparts further complexity and roundness. The results in the glass: juicy-ripe peach, hints of cedar and orange blossom on the nose, followed by a smooth, rich, and bright palate of stone fruit, spice, and hints of classic Moscato “grape” notes. Opulent and aromatic, long and beautifully well-balanced, this is a top pick for Asian-style meals (noodle bowls, pad Thai, or classic pork egg foo young), seafood, vegetarian stews, and more.
Order your case today, then keep a bottle or two on hand for when your white-wine loving friends swing by. They’ll thank you!
