Quinta de Santiago Alvarinho Reserva 2017

Vinho Verde, Northern Portugal, PortugalFrom a single clay-soiled vineyard in the prized Vinho Verde subregion of Monção e Melgaço, this was aged in a mix of 70/30 French oak / stainless for eight months, with periodic battonage. Earthy, fennel-streaked lees beds a plump core, transmitting the clay, and the wood, but still holding onto alvarinho's peach, pear, yellow apple notes. Simple, safe, and straightforward serious VV.Tasted: 22 July 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
