Dry & fruity with lovely minerality.

Tasting Notes: Benefiting from the glorious maritime climate of the Vinho Regional Lisboa, the vineyards are moderated by the cool ocean breezes. Following an early harvest to bring the potential ABV down these grapes are fermented and then aged in 100% temperature controlled, stainless-steel tanks to help preserve its vibrant fruit profile. The nose shows a wide and developed fruit profile. The dry, well-balanced palate of delicious apple, pear, melon, refreshing citrus fruit and a lovely minerality leaves a pleasant, lingering finish.
GOLD MEDAL at the Portugal Wine Trophy
DFJ Vinhos is one of Portugal`s most innovative and highly awarded wine producers, winning best Portuguese producer in both the New York International Competition and Berliner Wine competition in 2018. They control estates in the Lisboa, Douro, Setubal, Alentejo and Tejo wine regions and work with 22 different grape varieties. The company is headed by Portugal’s top winemaker, José Neiva, who has now been leading the way for over 40 years and, at the recent `Portuguese Wine Oscars`, he was made `Senhor do Vinho` - the highest accolade for an outstanding career.
The Vinho Regional Lisboa (previously known as Estremadura) extends north and west of Lisbon, following the rugged Atlantic coastline. It is Portugal`s third largest wine producing region in volume terms, but arguably the source of the country`s best value table wines. Most of the region enjoys a maritime climate that allows production of fresh whites and balanced red wines. The last ten years have seen a surge of ambitious small growers making far more interesting wines across a wide selection of grape varietals.
