Fermented at low temperatures and aged on its fine lees for added textural depth, this 100% Alvarinho delivers a crisp, dry profile brimming with vibrant notes of zesty lemon peel, juicy white peach, and a delicate floral lift. Backed by a mouthwatering, wet-stone minerality drawn from the region's ancient granite soils, this highly age-worthy yet instantly refreshing 2025 pour is an essential, terroir-driven companion for fresh oysters, grilled prawns, or bright summer salads.
