FONTE SOUTO ALENTEJO WHITE 21

Quinta da Fonte Souto is in the Portalegre subregion of the Alto Alentejo in southern Portugal. Close to the Sao Mamede range (3362 feet in altitude), the property benefits from the area’s altitude with its cooler microclimate in sharp contrast to the Alentejo region’s typically hot and dry conditions. Yields are low due to the schist and granite soils, which are less fertile than those found in the flat and rolling terrain which characterizes the majority of the Alentejo.

Tasting Notes:
Lots of lemon zest and stone character with some fresh herbs such as lemongrass. Medium to full body. Layered and creamy. Dried white peach. Lots of dried citrus.
