9.1

The wine is a great aperitif with a mineral-driven citrus nose and flavors of grapefruit and lemon in a crisp, fresh acidity. 13.5% abv, Verdelho grape, from Alentejo region in the central-south part of Portugal. It was declared the best wine of the year in Portugal, the first time a white wine had even won the honor.

Cotton candy and yellow apple in the nose. Pear and apple with a tang on the finish. Lovely #Portuguese wine!

Like a big burgundy. Subtle, good mineralogy and complexity
