100% Alvarinho 2019
Certified Organic
Stored in used French oak barrels until bottling for 10 months.
Distinct aromas of peach and orange blossom, with a slight herbal twist. Stone fruits continue on the palate, with delicate vanilla touches from barrel-aging along with fresh hazelnut and brioche. Lively freshness and superb acidity with a lingering finish.
