100% Alvarinho 2018
Certified Organic
Stored in stainless steels vats until bottling.
This Alvarinho is unoaked and dry, leaving the purity of fruit to shine through. Classic Alvarinho notes of stone fruits find a lovely intensity; bright nectarine and fresh young apricots dance with more delicate notes of dried flowers; camomile and honeysuckle. Gorgeously vibrant and saline acidity lift the fruit along to a persistent, mouth-watering finish.
