This is a blend of well-known grapes from the region, loureiro, trajadura and alvarinho, aged in stainless on the fine lees, granting both freshness and added creaminess on the palate. Dry, fresh and bright, with red and yellow apple, peach blossom, ripe cantaloupe, orange oil and a spiced lime pith finish.
