Quinta Fonte Do Souto Florão Branco

Description

Quinta Fonte Do Souto Florão Branco is a white wine from Alentejo, Portugal, produced by Symington Family Estates. The winemaking is signed by Charles Symington, Pedro Correia and José Daniel Soares. It is born from a blend of the Arinto and Verdelho grape varieties. Vintage 2025. Quinta da Fonte Souto, near Portalegre, was acquired by the Symington family in 2017 and represents their first winemaking project outside the Douro region. The estate, whose name is inspired by the abundant availability of water and the vast wooded areas, comprises 207 hectares, 42 of which are under vine. The cool microclimate, soil profile and maturity of the vineyard allow the production of wines of high quality with a very distinct identity. It shows a lemon-yellow colour. An appealing aromatic exuberance, with notes of peach and white plum standing out, and more subtle hints of green apple and lemon, which reflects the importance of Arinto in the blend. On the palate it has a smoky touch and a sparkling acidity that gives it lovely freshness and highlights the minerality of the Fonte Souto soils. The finish is smooth in texture and very well balanced. It pairs well with oven-baked fish, white meats and fresh cheeses. Serve at 7–10 °C. At 13% vol., it comes in a 0.75 L bottle. Serve this white well chilled, but not iced, in a medium-sized glass that concentrates the aromas. If the bottle comes out of the refrigerator too cold, leave it for a few minutes at room temperature so the wine can reveal its full expression. Store the bottle lying down, in a cool, dark place without temperature variations. Once opened, reseal it and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve the aromas.
