Rosa da Mata Fernão Pires 2019
22,90 €
It presents a greenish-yellow colour, a reflection of the wooden stage, in the nose is the exuberance of the perfume with sweet flowers like the white rose, some fruit like the tangerine and lime, and a lot of freshness. Fernão Pires is characterized by being a very fragrant variety and this is evident in this wine. In the mouth it is not a wine that starts simple and gains volume and texture, it has elegance and structure, the bipolarity personifies this wine, which grows and changes with each drink.
