Really delicious wine from the Alentejo, narrowly missed out on being one of our wines of the year. The Fonte Souto Estate white wine embodies all the strengths of the property it's unique terroir: the freshness and balance afforded by the altitude; the concentration, which derives from mature, low-yielding vines, and the complexity and structure provided by the barrel fermentation sur-lie with bâtonnage. A blend of Arinto mainly with. c25% Verdelho, aged 7 months in oak. Long, quite rich with a peachy charcter, gently spice and a long gently nutty, creamy finish. Versatile food wine.
