Luis Pato Branco Vinhas Velhas 2021

€ 13.24

This aromatic white wine is clear and fresh. A nose of orange peel and some tropical fruit, something between sapodilla and melon. It has a very soft viscosity, but very clean lingering acidity. It is a very satisfying adventure that never ceases to enthrall
