NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This José Maria da Fonseca Periquita Branco is a delightful white blend of Arinto, Fernão Pires, and Moscatel from the Setúbal region of Portugal.Its nose is a fragrant array of lemon, lime, and apple aromas. On the palate, it is light-bodied with a balanced acidity, juicy flavors of green apple, citrus, and white flowers, and a refreshing finish. It's a great summer sipper to enjoy on its own or with light seafood dishes.
