Casal Sta. Maria Sauvignon Branco

Description

This Sauvignon Blanc from Casal Santa Maria, tracing its lineage back to the 1720 estate, is a remarkable testament to the enduring spirit of the Sintra hills. Legend has it the granite house weathered the 1755 earthquake – a story that does make one ponder one’s own foundations, frankly. The ‘most westerly vineyards of Europe’ capture that distinctive coastal salinity, and the meticulous modernisation over the years is surprisingly impressive. It’s a wine clearly conceived for fresh oysters and a perfectly grilled fish – a truly harmonious pairing.
