Wine Review: This translucent and very pale straw colored Alvarinho opens with an inviting white floral, light lychee, and faint lime bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and easy to drink. The flavor profile is a gentle lime and crushed stony minerality blend with notes of saline and white pepper. I also picked up a hint of white grapefruit and Anjou pear. The finish is dry and refreshing. This Alvarvinho would pair well with broiled scallops. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This is a beauty! Very complex wine with great balance and style. This rich concentrated wine is packed with intense aromas of citrus, apple, pear and floral scents with a tropical background. The palate is full-bodied and voluminous, with a fresh and vibrant acidity and great minerality.
