Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Shrimp and rice noodle salad with ginger-sesame dressing
  • Burrata, roasted beet, and arugula salad
  • Soft tangy cheeses like Humboldt Fog, La Tur, and Montenebro

This sprightly, old-vines Malvasia from the Spanish region of Toro possesses a distinctive spritzy texture reminiscent of Vinho Verde from Portugal. White flowers and minerals on the nose move into spicy notes of crystallized ginger, clean, ripe citrus fruit, and blanched almonds on the palate. Fun, different, and very wallet-friendly!
