Wine Review: An enjoyable and refreshing white blend from Rui Roboredo Madeira, it is straw colored and has a bouquet of white peach, white florals, tangerine and wet river rock. It is medium bodied, with crisp plus acidity, and is dry, balanced, focused and clean. There are flavors of lime, peach and gravely minerality along with a hint of grapefruit. The finish is long and dry. It would pair well with Portuguese fisherman's stew. – Mark

Winemaker Notes: Complex aromas with a mineral character balanced with tropical and citrus fruits, white wildflowers, as well as discreet and evocative toasty hints of oak. Full and creamy on the palate, with nice body, freshness and a very long finish. Perfect with baked fish, soft cheeses, or with spicy and aromatic dishes such as shrimp curry.
