Aromas of stone fruits, lemon verbena, jasmine, and citrus. As it opens, notes of honeysuckle and hints of almond emerge, riding on a wave of minerality and freshness. The palate centers around a waxy, stone fruit core highlighted by grapefruit, lime, and galangal, leading to a lingering, mineral finish. Try it with white fish, chicken, turkey, clams, fresh pasta, and soft cheeses. Quinta do Covão, located in Sandomil near the Serra da Estrela mountain, has been owned by the Gomes Ferreira family since the 1970s.
