Casa Do Capitão Mor Alvarinho Branco

Description

This Casa do Capitão-Mor Alvarinho is a genuinely refined example, benefiting from a meticulous lees aging that lends it an unexpectedly luscious texture – practically begging for a dollop of crème fraîche. The aromas initially reveal dark stone fruit, with a subtle tropical note, perhaps reminiscent of banana bread as the producer suggests. It delivers a wonderfully fresh and vibrant mouthfeel, balanced against impressive persistence, echoing the very best of this region’s Alvarinho. Seriously, pairing this with grilled white fish or a *brás de bacalhau* would be sublime, or perhaps even a good pastel de nata – don’t knock it till you’ve tried it!
