Aroma: white-fleshed fruit, citrus notes

Palate: balanced acidity, refreshing carry, persistent close

Citrine yellow, from granite plots between 400 and 600 metres at Quinta do Paço: intense white-fleshed fruit with citrus, balanced and refreshing with real persistence.

What it pairs with

  • Grilled sardines
    Balanced acidity and citrus are what oily grilled fish needs.
  • Salt cod with chickpeas
    White-fleshed fruit and persistence hold up to a cold cod and pulse plate.
  • Fresh sheep's cheese
    Refreshing acidity is the counterweight to a soft young cheese.
