Vinha Maria Reserva White, Quinta de Cabriz, Dão, Portugal

Duncan Says: A class act – the perfect balance of silky fresh fruit and gentle oak ageing.

Tasting Notes: Predominant aromas of white flower, peach and citrus. Fresh tropical fruit mingles with a well-balanced & distinct acidity on the palate.

Grapes: Encruzado, Bical, Malvasia-Fina

Best Enjoyed: Try it with soft cheeses or fish dishes with creamy sauces.

Good to Know: 50% of the wine is fermented in French oak barrels, and it is then given 3 months of bâtonnage (lees stirring) to provide good ageing potential, balance and a rich, smooth texture.
