This blend was the most appreciated and defined by José Neiva Correia, searching a rich white, elegant and tasty, excellent to share with the family and friends. Consensus was very aromatic, fruity, rich, with an excellent acidity who gives a very fresh and alive wine. The end of tasting was balanced, long and intense. The fermentation in oak add a unique character and richness with notes of dry fruits well present in the aroma and body.
To serve at the temperature of 10º-12ºC being an excellent aperitif. It complements well strong cheeses, fish in the oven, all the cod fish dishes and poultry.
