Ponte Da Barca Reserva Dos Sócios Alvarinho Carvalho Branco

Description

This Alvarinho is a real wake-up call, earning a respectable 16.5 points at Grandes Escolhas. Initially, you’re hit with a lovely smoky note – a promise delivered by the oak that doesn't shy away from the bright citrus of orange and a refreshing hint of alperce. There’s a delicate vanilla influence, creating a creamy texture, while ripe pineapple takes centre stage, all underpinned by a remarkably balanced acidity. Seriously delicious with grilled fish or, perhaps, a classic *pastel de bacalhau*?
