James Morris –
Beautiful supple white, delicate citrus mineral notes on the nose, perhaps a hint of honeysuckle. Very refreshing and light but quite complex minerality on the palette – just brilliant with a light lunch or fish dish. This is why I love Portuguese whites, excellent value from drink Portuguese wines!
