Quinta De Santa Teresa Avesso Curtimenta Branco

Description

“Curimenta” from Quinta de Santa Teresa isn’t for the faint of heart. This wine, with its skin contact fermentation, delivers a surprisingly amber hue – almost a stubborn orange. Thankfully, the Avesso grape, known for its spirited nature, lends its hand, offering notes of guava and pear alongside an acidity that demands your respect. Those 17 points from *Revista de Vinhos* weren't kidding; it’s undeniably smooth and silky, yet possesses a wonderfully fresh, herbaceous character reminiscent of thyme. If you believe all white wines must be simply lemon and apple, prepare to have your preconceptions delightfully challenged. It’s a wine for those willing to experiment and, perhaps, pleasantly surprise a few critical palates.
