Approachable richness in this blend of Arinto and Viosinho led by ripe yellow and white orchard fruit, which fills the palate on top of a creamy layer of lemon curd and frangipane. Soft acid and candied citrus, with a tingling zesty core, lift the wine throughout. Moreish and structured yet somehow light on its fit. Elegant, subtle rim of blanched nuts and spice.
