Portinho do Côvo Branco 2018

Vinho Regional Península de Setúbal • Portugal

Prepare to be thrilled by this modern Portuguese white. It has a
wonderful array of crisp flavours thanks to a unique blend of grapes
and meticulous winemaking. Portinho do Côvo is made by multiple
award winning Jaime Quendera using the native grapes of Verdelho,
Fernão Pires and Antão Vaz. Together they lend brilliant
lemony intensity with a hint of spice. The vines grow close to
the coast, just off which lies the little island of Pessegueiro.
There, legend has it, Cupid exiled
three mermaids.
Mermaids aside, the coastal region is great for vines and
assures a long, slow ripening and freshness and lifted aromas in
the wines. Seafood features prominently on the local menu
