Tasting Note

A beautifully light and vibrant Portuguese Palhete, combining 80% Loureiro with 20% Vinhão. Sour cherry, raspberry, redcurrant and dried herbs lead to a juicy, energetic palate with brisk acidity, barely perceptible tannins and refreshing wet-stone minerality. Fermented and aged in clay amphora, this is a wonderfully pure, delicate and distinctive expression of traditional Minho winemaking.
