Quinta Dos Frades Vinha Dos Santos Branco

Description

This Santos Branco clearly took a rather meticulous approach – almost a little too precious, if I’m honest. The slow decantation and carefully controlled temperature seem designed to preserve a remarkable softness, earning it an “exceptionally smooth and fresh” accolade according to Grandes Escolhas. It’s certainly ready to drink now, a welcome relief for those impatient souls. Best paired with freshly grilled fish and a squeeze of lemon to really brighten the flavour.
