Desafinado Branco

Description

This “Desafinado” – quite aptly named, perhaps – is a reminder that stubborn Douro slopes and a good dose of age can produce something truly remarkable. Expect a vibrant lemon hue, hinting at a burst of spiced fruit, a nod to the region’s sweet tradition. The palate is remarkably smooth and fresh, lingering with a mineral intensity – notably of alperch – and a finish that stretches on and on. Seriously, it’s a wine that deserves to be paired with roasted chicken or fish dishes with warming spices.
