Fitapreta Palpite Branco
This gastronomic white wine is a selection of the best vineyards, combining the richness and freshness of Alentejo whites. Intense and complex on the nose, it offers aromas of grapefruit, lemon, spices, and cream. On the palate, it is rich and well-balanced, with refreshing acidity, and flavours of grapefruit, pear, butter, and spices. Round and creamy, with a long persistent finish, it truly has the quality of a great Burgundy. It is also organic. Pair it with fish, shellfish, risotto, or chicken.
