Maçanita Branco 2019
Maçanita Branco has a bright golden yellow colour. Fresh and intense floral nose with a touch of ripe yellow pear and slate. The dry palate has a creamy texture, refreshing acidity and incredible concentration. Bright and juicy flavours of green and golden apples, pear and white pepper all wrapped up in a pleasant floral and mineral bow. Closes in a long and persistent finish.
A blend of Malvasia Fina, Viosinho and Gouveio. The fruit comes from old vines that grow in Duoro Valley, Portugal.
