Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Roasted Chilean sea bass with triple citrus salad (cara cara orange, red grapefruit, and tangerine)
  • Roasted chicken rubbed with lavender, rosemary, and thyme butter
  • Pork chops smothered with slow-cooked caramelized onions and ginger

Perfumed with the intense aroma of gardenias, this sensuous, full-bodied white made from a blend of three native Portuguese varieties is simply FABULOUS. Opulent flavors of peach, passionfruit, and grapefruit get amped up by the wine's creamy, expansive texture in the mouth, which comes from some time spent in neutral oak barrels. A remarkable wine that should not be missed!
