Quinta do Vale Meão Blanco 2013

Douro Superior, Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalYou feel the passion of Francisco Olazabal and the team in this white Quinta do Vale Meão. Clean fresh floral notes mixed with grass and grapefruit entice. The attack is soft and touch warm but with enough acidity to keep it on beam. The mix is 50/50 arinto and rabigato. The plate is a mix of cooked apple peach citrus and mineral notes that persist across the finish. Different for starters, and fun to drink.Tasted: 24 December 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
