Florbela branco 2018 (DOC Dão)

Lúcia Freitas is one of the Dão wine region's scene names. This winemaker born in Viseu city soon began in the wine world thanks to her grandfather, a small local producer. In Dão, winemakers know well that the Encruzado variety brings voluptuousness, the Bical variety puts the acidity and that the Malvasía variety offers a whole complex aromatic palette. Lucia knows it too and demonstrates it code of young white.

Visually a good bright with dense and thick tears. A medium intensity nose but with a great complexity. Tropical and butter hints a priori. Then some citrus or herbal notes comes. And finally pear and apple close the party. A lot of pear hints. Entrance in mouth of slight roundness. A gourmand development with a good balance between roundness and freshness. Elegant mouth-aromas of mountain grass next to tropical fruit and citrus peel touchs. Warm, sweet and long finish with delicious orange echoes.

A Dão blend valued at 4'85 euros / $ 5.43 which in my opinion is a just price. I discovered this reference in one of the Baixa-Chiado bars of Lisbon. A great city to discover at all levels especially in the gastronomic. For match this wine, for example, look for a Grilled Sea Bream with roast pepper or a Portuguese Grilled Salted Cod Fish (Bacalhau a Lagareiro). 12º C Tª service is what Lucia and I recommend.
