Herdade do Cebolal Vale das Éguas 2016
Setúbal Peninsula, Central and Southern Portugal, PortugalThis blend of antão vaz and vedelho comes from southern Portugal's Setúbal Peninsula, a hot region best known for its sweet wines. This, however, was purposefully picked in late August by acclaimed winemaker mother and son duo Isabel Capitao and Luis. Stainless fermentation and aging keeps the sun-ripened fruit as bright as can be, yielding musk melon, pineapple, honeysuckle and tangerine. Acidity struggles to meet the weighty, creamy palate, one that finishes with a spiced apricot finish. Only 6000 bottles were made, and I recommend popping yours with calamari or grilled squash.Tasted: 01 August 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $27.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
