Alentejano, Portugal - 50% Arinto / 50% Antão Vaz
Lemon-yellow in the glass, opening with tangerine and lemon zest that carry through to a floral, citrus-driven nose lifted by ripe nectarine. The palate is fresh and textured, with candied fruit sweetness balanced by lively acidity. Fruity and dry with a full body, it holds a discreet, well-balanced freshness through a clean, versatile finish.
Pairing Suggestions: A true food-friendly all-rounder. The texture and fruit weight make it a natural with white meats like roast chicken or pork, while the citrus lift keeps it easy alongside fish and sushi, cutting richness without overwhelming delicate flavours. It's also a great match for calamari and other light seafood, where the fresh acidity balances the dish's richness. Cheese lovers will find it just as at home with a soft, creamy selection, or simply on its own for easy sipping.
