  Citrus, peach, tropical notes. Something hints at sweetness, possible moscatel galego in the blend. Just enough acidity to keep it interesting. Well made.

  Silvery white. Fruity and floral nose - tropical fruits and elderflower; then some dried rose petals; hints of rhubarb and cream. Dry yet juicy to taste - lime, apples, grapes, passion fruit, other tropical fruits. Nice, drinkable and surprisingly good with (summery) food.

  I find an attractive note of dessert grapes in many Portuguese whites and this one is no exception. Add to that medium body, fresh fruit and lively acidity and there is a lot to like and it was a good pairing for jumbo mussels brought from Belgium. Good wine and good QPR at €6.
