Pato Frio Antao Vaz White

Paulo Laureano (Portuguese oenologist of the year 2011) has created this wine with an intense tropical fruit nose overlaid with hints of citrus and minerals which are characteristics of this grape variety. On the palate it is rounded with notable freshness that lifts the fruity component of the wine with a long and persistent finish. A full bodied wine that really stands out on the shelf.
