A superb, savoury and complex white with an alluring combination of almond, minerality, peaches and brioche on the nose. An ideal choice for lovers of fine white Rhône or Rioja Blanco looking to expand their horizons, this blend of Portuguese varieties rabigato, arinto and códega do larinho has been cleverly oaked, helping to enhance the texture and notes of toasty brioche without taking centre stage. The palate is complex, plush and pure, with bright and fresh acidity running from front to back. Notes of nutmeg and fresh-baked pastry build and complement the lemon curd, apricot and lime-zest flavours. The intensity of the old vines lifts it all. Seriously smart wine from Marc Kent (of Boekenhoutskloof in South Africa) and Rita Marques, from the Douro Valley.
