“Great evidence of the value to be found in Portugal.” - Jancis Robinson MW

They say that you should try everything once, except incest and Morris dancing. It’s probably fair to assume that you haven’t tried a blend of Arinto, Verdelho, Antão Vaz, Fernao Pires and Chardonnay before, but if this wine is anything to go by, then you shouldn't waste another moment. It's a blissful combination, bearing a striking resemblance to a Côtes du Rhone Blanc with its delicate and dainty aromas of honeysuckle, cream soda, jasmine and apricot. There’s a suggestion of Viognier both on the nose and palate, which shows a delicate ripeness of yellow- and orange-fleshed stone fruits, lemon meringue and a wisp of vanilla thanks to the 3 months spent in French and American oak. The packaging is as elegant as the wine itself and we strongly recommend buying this by the case. 13% alc. Now in a screwcap. Drink now-2024.


Press reviews:

Jamie Goode: “Attractive and well balanced this shows nice pear and citrus fruit with some white peach richness and a beautiful fresh lemony finish. There’s generosity here but also great balance, and it drinks beautifully.” 92 points

Jancis Robinson MW (previous vintage): “Mmm. Really rather creamy, interesting and appealing on the nose and full, mildly floral and satin-textured on the palate. It’s certainly easy to drink now – not unlike an especially light marmalade (do they still make Golden Shred?) – but it also seems constituted for a few more years’ development. Great evidence of the value to be found in Portugal. Very good value.” 16.5 points
